Suddenly, MS Word, Notepat & Winzip are slow even up to 13scs, to open, yet others are instant.
Same with Winzip. whether large contents or not.

I defraged the HD.
Never had it on wn98.
Reinstalled XPsp2
Reinstalled MS Office 2000.
Have MS Security Center with Firewall & AVG7 free.
BUT with no luck

Any ideas?
