I have no macros enabled, and no unavailable network mappings. I have redirected 'my documents' to a network drive, so I have one &quot;virtual&quot; network drive for offline documents. Can that be the problem?<br />
I have 8 others portables on that location, with the excapt same setup, but not the same problem.<br />

Tried resofting the computer and now everythinjg works just fine. Thank you all for your suggestions.

So here is my question relating to this issue: &nbsp;what do you do in this instance if you have remote-users that are sometimes connected via a VPN and sometimes not? &nbsp;Can't hardly ask them to remove/recreate their drives every time depending on the VPN-status.

I have a strange problem on one computer where the dropdown menus in all Office XP applications are very slow. They appear gradually over 4-5 seconds, and it is very annoying. This only happens when the computer is undocked and can't see the server, and only on one of the computers.<br />
<br />
I tried reinstalling Office while being offline, but the result is the same. Updating Office doesn't make any difference either, but once I dock into the network everything works just fine.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?

Slow Dropdown menu's in Office XP

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
