Guest Fredrated Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 When I take the file>open option for MS Office applications and try to navigate to an existing office file, the file browser takes 3 to 4 minutes to display a folder and file list. Then if I click on a drive letter or folder, it takes another 3 to 4 minutes to display the new list. Nothing seems to be cached, every click takes this long. Also, it is using a lot of cycles because other applications hang while the new list is being generated. Any ideas what is going on, or better, how to stop this behavior? I think this started after a recent windows update, but I am not sure. I am using XP service pack 2 and Office XP. Some Office apps are SP2, some are just the original install version. Thanks in advance for any help. Fred
