Word opens very slowly because it performs a configuration process every time
it starts? |

Word 2007 Configuration at start up - SLOW opening
I should mention that Exel opens fine as well as other Office 2007 program.
Also I did have Word 2000 installed but took it off already and also un installed the trial version that was on here. So those fixes have been tried already. "miatapete" wrote: Word opens very slowly because it performs a configuration process every time it starts? |

Run Word as administrator and allow it to reconfigure.
If you have more than one Word version installed - see the registry changes shown at http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "miatapete" wrote in message ...

Thank you for the reply . . . but. Word is on only this one computer; always
logged in as administrator. Other versions have been un installed already like I said. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Run Word as administrator and allow it to reconfigure.

It doesn't matter how many users there are - if this is Vista or later,
right click the icon and choose run as administrator. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "miatapete" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 Configuration at start up - SLOW opening
I got excited about this answer but when I tried it Word 2007 still does the
configuration thing for maybe 60 seconds. (to get to run as administrator you have to right click the icon and select properties and then choose compatibility tab). Thanks Graham for the information but there must be something else.

Word 2007 Configuration at start up - SLOW opening
It is possible that there are some artifacts of older Word versions still
present that are confusing the issue. Registry entries tend to get left behind. If repairing the Word installation from the installation media does not fix it, then it might be worth employing a registry cleaner - though be very aware that some of them can do more harm than good. My favourite is RegVac http://www.regvac.com/ but do ensure that it works with your operating system. Otherwise refer to the http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm page on my web site and add the registry key suggested there to prevent reconfiguration. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "miatapete" wrote in message ...
