Hi, I've been fighting this off and on for awhile. AFter I start my computer XP SP3 and try to open WOrd,Excell or Outlook I get a not responding error. After about five minutes everything works. I have reinstalled, clean booted, safe mode, al to no help. I have tried many fixes but NG. Any body else happen to reun into something like this. I will mention if I don't restart I can close Word, Excel, etc. no problem. Then reopen no problem.
