Word loads very slowly

I'm using Microsoft Word 2002 (10.6826.6825) SP3 under Windows Vista Home
Premium. Upon installation, Word loaded very quickly but now it takes almost
30 seconds to load. To troubleshoot the problem, I loaded Word through RUN >
winword.exe /a which loads Word without templates and add-ins. The test run
was successful; Word loaded instantly. Now I'm looking for a way to correct
the problem.

I seem to have deleted or removed all templates or add-ins from Tools menu >
Templates and Add-ins but I'm not sure if some remnants of them remain
somewhere on the system. What should I do to get Word to load quickly again?

Thank you.

I had seen that page before posting here. Previously, I RAN winword.exe /a
and reported below that Word opened quickly. Previously, I also renamed
normal.dot without success. I don't have Outlook on my computer nor do I
have a network printer so those aren't the problem. I also deleted the Data
Registry key in ...Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word\Data.

Do you have any other suggestions?
