If it was my call, I would have no problem with that solution. However the owner realizes that there a 10 other PCs that function the same way and do not have a lag issue.<br />

I tried things such as generating a new Normal.dot and an office repair. No luck yet.

After multiple repairs, I just unchecked the &quot;Use Microsoft Word to read Rich Text e-mail messages&quot; option and that seemed to resolve the issue. Thanks for the help.

An XP pro machine with Office Pro keeps hanging when browsing out to add an attachment. After clicking to add an attachment, after about the 3rd subfolder you attempt to access, the machine freezes for about a minute (mapped drive and local, doesn't matter). After it's done freezing, you can browse normally.<br />
<br />
Troubleshooting found: <br />
- Outlook in Safe Mode works fine. I disabled the Add-Ins in nomal mode, but that did not work. <br />
- In Options&gt;Mail Format, if I uncheck &quot;USE MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD 2003 TO EDIT E-MAIL MESSAGES&quot;, it works fine.<br />
<br />
I tried to repair, no change. Any suggestions?

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
