I have a new Dell Dimension 4600. Almost instantly it went from opening up MSWord in a few seconds to almost a minute. I also have noticed that changing backgrounds in PowerPoint went from about 1 second to about 30 seconds. Everything else seems fine. My boy had been manipulating some picture files around that time (don't know any more details. I have lots of disk space. Can anyone help? P.S. Please keep it simple, I don't know much about this.
Thanks

This may be applicable if you have Norton installed:

After updating to the January 7th or 8th virus definitions, your computer slows
down and Microsoft Word and Excel will not start
