The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

MS Word 2003 hangs while typing

Asked by Bill0573 in Microsoft Word

Tags: word, hangs

I have a problem with MS Word 2003.  While typing, the hourglass appears and the typing hangs every few seconds then proceeds normally until the next hourglass appears and then it hangs again.  The delays make it inordinately difficult to type any documents.  As I also use Word in Outlook to respond to email, this is a very frustrating problem which I have not yet been able to solve.  I've tried the following remedies to no avail -

deleted the normal.dot template
unchecked the fast saves and check grammar while you're typing
typed winword /regserver at the run command
uninstalled and reinstalled MS Office 2003
uninstalled Norton SystemWorks (including the antivirus program) and installed NOD 32
scanned for viruses, spyware (I use Spyblaster, SpyBot Search and Destroy, and AdAware)
run check disk and defragmented the system

There's either a conflict with another piece of software or a time out issue but I'll be damned if I can find it.  Any ideas on what's causing the problem?

My system is a 3.02 Pentium 4, 2 GHz dual channel 400 DDR, 160 gig SATA HD, Windows XP Professional, PCI Express Bus (915g chipset), ATI 128 PCI express video card, Soundblaster Audigy 2 Sound Card....I have all the latest updates and drivers.
