Hi, my system seems to have an issue with Office 2003. After installing it, there's always a lag time after I click on the Start button after closing any windows or programs, like Firefox or windows explorer. Before the installation the system ran fine. I installed Office with all applications and all optional features. I really don't understand why the mouse would freeze for about 2-3 seconds after I browse the web or something and close the browser's window. When I'm working within a browser or program, everything seems fine. So I did a system restore to a little before office was installed, and everything was fine. But after reinstalling it, the lag came back. I don't think this is hardware related, but I'll post my specs anyway. I'm just confused as to why a program like Office would cause a system to hang at times.
