MS Word and Excel files take on the average up to 45 seconds to open. I uninstalled and re-installed Office 2007 and this helped for about 2 days and reverted back to opening very slowly. This is what I have tried to fix the probelm already:1. un-installed and re-instaled Office 2007.2. Run defrag.3. Disk cleanup.4. Run Forefront full scan5. Scan with malwarebytes, if this is malware it would be consistant. have checked on the web but I have not found any decent soulutions. If anyone has a better idea that would be great!Thanks so much!1 person needs an answerI do too

And if you boot into safe mode and then try?If that resolves the issue then its running background programs that are causing it
