Help with Office Professional 2000
I just loaded XP on my machine (had Millenium Edition) I used Office
Professional 2000 and it now takes Microsoft Word for ever to come up. Is Office Professional 2000 not really compatible with XP, or do I just need to reload the disk? Thank You -- JEFFREY S......... |

I have been running Norton Utilities (or Norton Systemworks) along with
Office 95, 97, 2000, XP, and now 2003). I have never seen any problems or interactions. What are you driving at John?

Help with Office Professional 2000
I just have an aversion to Norton products (through experience), have found
that many of their AV products in the earlier stages appeared to operate on a learning curve, fine for 3-6 months, then suddenly decide they'll check various programs - even Word docs which took up to 30 secs to open, then it did the same thing when you closed the doc. I don't know if they've changed the programmimg recently, but it was enouh to turn me off them completely. Also, those earlier programs (& I.m only talking about ~ 3 years ago) could be shut down via Device Manager, but there were still parts of it stilll running in the background. Sorry, but I found that slightly intrusive which made fault-finding slightly more difficult as it used to cause a gradual system slowdown over a period of time.
