When I try to open Word 2000 in Windows 98, it just hangs there. After several... minutes (perhaps 10) it finally opens. I have no problem opening Excel or Publisher within seconds. Thanks.
Norton AV?
Disable the Office Plug-in from within that application. It seems there may
have been a problem with a recent update that is causing this widespread
problem. If that really is the case watchout for an update soon that will
fix it.

Thank you so much. I work for a small non-profit with only 8 actively used computers. So far 3 of them have complained of this same problem. Thanks to you I was able to get them up and running smoothly again. I really appreciate your guidance.
