I have Microsoft Office 2007. Sometimes it works, at least the first time I
use it after i start my computer. The next time I click on Word or Excel, it
opens to a blank screen. The toolbars do appear at the top of the screen.
If I click ANYWHERE on the screen or the commands a blue bar appears at the
top of the screen which reads "Document 1 - Microsoft Word" and I get the
hourglass. If I do nothing but wait that hourglass just stays on the screen
forever. the only way out of this is to click the 'X' in the upper right
hand corner. Then I get the message "This program is not responding". I
click "End Now" and get the "choose to end nonresponding program, etc, etc
This is very frustrating and time consuming. Sometimes rebooting my
computer corrects the problem, sometimes not.

you might try booting into
safe mode and see if
office performs better this
environment.

if so, then there are a
couple of things you can
do.
