Title: Microsoft Word
Post by: Chalenge on September 08, 2009, 07:22:15 PM

Is there a background process or startup item that Word loads onto your system that might affect AHII? A squadmate just installed an older version of Word (2003) and has ever since had a problem with hesitations.

There is no background process for Word by itself. If that is Office 2003 professional then there might be a couple of processes running Access and Excel visual basic scripting.

I could have sworn that Word came with an indexing program of some sort but if you say no...

Thanks.  :salute

You mean Findfast.exe?  I know that comes with Office 97; I shut it off using MSconfig.  I don't know if it comes with Office 2003.  I know it doesn't with Office 2007.

Yes thanks for jogging my memory but I dont know if it (2003) does or not.

Word itself isn't associated with findfast.exe. The office suite is, or used to be. There is an indexing option in Word but it's not a memory resident individual process.
