In the last two days, when try to open Word or Excel files, I clickon open in
the dialogue box and after a time, I get the Not Responding message.

I can open files by searching for them and then opening from the search
results but i can't remember the name of every file I want to open and I'm
worried that something serious is wrong, either with my machine or my copy of
MS Office.
 
Check out the response to "Can not save files"
I had the same problem and it was due to Security Update for Windows XP
KB908531 which caused the problem on my PC but not my wife's.

Thank you very very much! I too have spent hours trying to fix this problem.
