Hi,

I have a new Dell Latitude 830 laptop (4gb RAM, 120Gb HD) preinstalled with
Vista Ultimate. I got the laptop and basically immediately starting
installing SW on it (Office 2007, Acrobat 8, others) before I really used it
a lot, so I'm not sure if this problem was out of the box or not.
But basically any program I click on (IE, Office 2007, etc) launches, but
goes into "Not Responding" mode for 20-30 seconds, then goes back to running
normally. Even if I have Word open and running, and open a new document, it
does the "not responding" think there as well. Everything seems to work, but
it is very annoying. Anyone seen this, and have any advice for me?

Thanks,

Mike

Best way to find that out is to use your recovery disc (or partition)
to restore your computer to the same condition it was in when you took
it out of the box.

Work with it for a while, then slowly install each program, allowing
time to see how things are going.

If I had a dollar for every time I've seen "Not Responding" since I got a
Vista system, I could probably buy out Bill Gates. I've gotten it from
every last piece of software I own, including Vista's own features. If
someone has a solution, I sure hope they post it.
