Microsoft word problems

So my computer recently crashed and I switched from XP to vista because there's something wrong with XP now. Microsoft word takes almost 10 minutes to open now, has anyone else had this happen? Is there anything wrong with it or is vista just pure shit?

Vista is teh suxx, get Windows 7.

What version of Word are you using? And is anything else being especially slow? Even when I was running Vista, MS Word sprang right to life.

Eh, it;s my parents computer and I have no money to upgrade it.

Everything else works fine, firefox, itunes, the guitar programs I use. It takes a long time to open and when I open it by clicking documents on my desktop they don;t actually open, I have to go to the file menu and do it once word opens.

Wait actually microsoft photo viewer is slow too now that I think about it.

Word is slow to start, print, or load documents

Try the bit with the registry.

Did you just upgrade to Vista without actually reinstalling MS Office? If so, then just reinstall the program, and it should work fine.

well we started out using vista, but vista sucks so we switched to XP since we had both installed then XP died so now we're using vista, but I'm not sure if we ever installed office originally. I'll try both these when I get a chance, I won't need to use word again till Sunday so I'll probably put it off till then.

Thanks for the suggestions.
