Wierd Office problem - files open slowly

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I am sure this points to a machine problem more than office, but it involves
office, so here it goes:

If I click on an office file, it takes upwards of 10 minutes for the
document/spreadsheet/powerpoint file to open;

however

if I open up the application first, and then choose to open the
document/spreadsheet/etc, it opens up right away!!!

anybody ever seen that!

Perhaps someone in one of the Office newsgroups can help you.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

If you have System Mechanics in your system, prevent "SMsystemanalyzer.exe" loading on startup. Deleting its registry key is the only way.
