I have a crazy problem with Office 2007 Enterprise Edition

Windows XP Pro SP3
Office 2007 Enterprise Edition
Mcafee Viruscan Enterprise Edition 8.5i

ISSUE:
Word 2007 Office documents take a long time to open in a new desktop after changing from office 2003 - 2007
eah word doc even if it has  IIII in the doc only 45sec -2mins to open on a double click
IMPACT:
Only one user is affected by this issue
 
First Solution
 
CURRENT ACTION PLAN:
-----------------------------------------------------
5.    Open Word using “/a” switch
a.    Make sure that Word and Outlook is closed
b.    Start à Run à Type “Winword /a” à Ok
c.    Check whether the issue is still happening
6.    Disable the Startup folder add-ins
When you start Word, Word automatically loads templates and add-ins that are located in the Startup folders. Problems in Word may be the result of conflicts or of problems with an add-in. To determine whether an item in a Startup folder is causing the problem, temporarily disable the registry setting that points to these add-ins.
To do this, follow these steps:
1.    Exit all Office programs.
2.    Use one of the following procedures,
o    Right-click Start, click Run, type %programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office12\Startup\, and then click OK.
3.    Right-click one of the files that is contained in the folder, and then click Rename. 
4.    After the file name, type .old, and then press ENTER.
Important: Note the original name of the file. Later, you may have to rename the file by using its original name. 
5.    Start Word. 
6.    If you can no longer reproduce the problem, you have found the specific add-in that causes the problem. If you must have the features that the add-in provides, contact the vendor of the add-in for an update.
o    If you can still reproduce the problem, right-click Start, click Run, type %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup, and then click OK.
7.    Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each file in this Startup folder.
o    If the problem is not resolved after you disable the Startup folder add-ins, follow the next step
7.    Delete the COM add-ins registry key
COM add-ins can be installed in any location. Programs that interact with Word install COM add-ins. Delete the registry key for the COM add-ins, and then restart Word.
1.    To delete the COM add-ins registry key, follow these steps: 1. Exit all Office programs.
2.    Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
3.    Locate the following registry subkey, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft Office\12.0\Word\Addins 
4.    Click Addins, and then click Export on the File menu.
5.    Name the file Wdaddin.reg, and then save the file to the desktop.
6.    Click Delete on the Edit menu, and then click Yes.
7.    Exit Registry Editor.
8.    Start Word. 
8.    Rename the Normal.dot or Normal.dotm global template file
You can prevent formatting, AutoText, and macros that are stored in the global template file from affecting the behavior of Word and of documents that you open. To do this, rename the global template file. When you restart Word in a typical way, Word creates a new global template file.
 
Important: When you rename the global template file, several options are reset to their default settings. The options that are reset include custom styles, custom toolbars, macros, and AutoText entries. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you do not delete the global template file.
 
Certain kinds of situations can create more than one global template file. Examples of such situations are as follows: • Multiple versions of Word are running on the same computer.
• Several workstation installations exist on the same computer.
In these situations, make sure that you rename the correct copy of the global template file.
 
To rename the global template file, follow these steps:
1.    Exit all Office programs.
2.    Right-click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
3.    Type the following command, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running, and then press ENTER:
·         Word 2007:
ren %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm OldNormal.dotm
4.    Type exit, and then press ENTER.
5.    Start Word. 
 
If Word starts correctly, you have resolved the problem. In this case, the problem is a damaged global template file. You may have to change several settings to restore your favorite options.
 
The global template file that you renamed may contain customizations that cannot be easily re-created. These customizations may include styles, macros, or AutoText entries. In this case, you may be able to copy the customizations from the old global template file to the new global template file by using the Organizer.

I've had a situation where the rpgram was searching for a network device/printer etc.
Have you tried disconnecting the network, and then trying to open the same documents?

Yah
 
That makes no differnce even slow in safe mode faster but not super fast
 
There are no issue's with  Office 2003  so there is a major operating difference with how this works with av
I also had the same issue with sage 2008 the latest version had to remove av to get the clients to download data in under 80 sec no it's like 3 sec's
 
thanks
