Default Office 2007 slow to open files when open associated files

XP Pro SP2 x64, Office 2007

This happened about 6 months ago, then disapeared and is now back. When
opening Word or Excel 2007 documents, from either Explorer, from an email
attachment or from the desktop, it takes around 40 seconds for the respective
application to load then even longer to load the document. This is
irrespective of whether the document is on a network drive or local disk.
If I open the office application from the Start Menu and the open the
document from either the recent documents or FileOpen, it is lightning fast.

I have tried all the other suggested posts of removing DDE check boxes etc
but this only complicates things and cause more problems.

I have run the Office Diagnostics everything passes.

Default Office 2007 slow to open files when open associated files


Hello,

It seems Word or Excel documents takes about 40 seconds to respective on
your machine. You have tried DDE check and also run Office Diagnostics.

Base on my experience, it seems to be mostly caused by DDE.

Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is an old technology and it is being supplanted
by OLE. By default when double clicking on a doc file, windows explorer
acts as a DDE client and sends DDE message broadcast to all open window. If
an instance of word is open, then it will reply back and that instance of
winword will open the file.

If we remove the DDE section, and have %1 .The dde message broadcast does
not happen and a new instance of winword will open the file.

I would like to know when you remove the DDE section, does the file opens
faster and what kind of issues we encountered?

Also, since the removing DDE section is not helpful on your machine, let's
try to run in clean boot environment which could also workaround this issue.

How to perform a clean boot procedure
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796

After starting Windows in clean boot, please double click an Office
document to see if the issue persists.

Thank you. If you have any concerns, feel free to post back.

Default Office 2007 slow to open files when open associated files

I have this issue on a new XP Professional Machine with Office 2007. I
reinstalled Office and the problem went away for about 24 hours, it is now
back. If try to open a Word or Excel file from either a network share or
local drive using a shortcut or Windows Explorer you get a long delay in the
file opening. If you open Work or Excel first and then do an open the files
open quickly. Looking for a solution that will save a few steps.

| | Hello,
| |
| | It seems Word or Excel documents takes about 40 seconds to respective
on
| | your machine. You have tried DDE check and also run Office
Diagnostics.
| |
| | Base on my experience, it seems to be mostly caused by DDE.
| |
| | Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is an old technology and it is being
| supplanted
| | by OLE. By default when double clicking on a doc file, windows
explorer
| | acts as a DDE client and sends DDE message broadcast to all open
window.
| If
| | an instance of word is open, then it will reply back and that
instance of
| | winword will open the file.
| |
| | If we remove the DDE section, and have %1 .The dde message broadcast
does
| | not happen and a new instance of winword will open the file.
| |
| | I would like to know when you remove the DDE section, does the file
opens
| | faster and what kind of issues we encountered?
| |
| | Also, since the removing DDE section is not helpful on your machine,
| let's
| | try to run in clean boot environment which could also workaround this
| issue.

Default Office 2007 slow to open files when open associated files

I have been having exactly the same problem for the last three weeks
now. Turning off (unchecking) DDE in the advanced properties of the
file associations for MS Office apps and adding a "%1" switch to the
command line has fixed those apps....but why do I suddently have to do
that? Any ideas out there?

Usual reason is some 3rd party programs installation has subverted the
DDE mechanisim, you can do the "fix" like you did, or reinstall Office
to do an "official" repair.
