| 313570 | 2005-01-13 04:51:00 | Using word 2000 (SP3) with XP home (SP2) once a file gets above a certain size, in an open window - not minimised - the processor cycles shoots up to 50%. Any ideas? Pete | pcn (6859) | ||
| 313571 | 2005-01-13 05:17:00 | Hi pcn What file size does it need to get above before this happens? Is this a plain text document? Does the CPU processing % stay above 50% until the document is closed, or does it just give a spike? Do you have your Antivirus monitoring Office programs (I know Norton's can do this). |

| 313572 | 2005-01-13 05:48:00 | Jen. I haven't worked out exactly how large the file has to be yet. Just text in .doc or .rtf and the processor stays at 50% until the window is minimised or a drop down menu is opened or task manager is opened. Anything that takes the focus away from the open window. The processor gets hot - up to 60 degrees. I'll try disabling Norton. Pete. | pcn (6859) | ||
| 313573 | 2005-01-13 06:43:00 | Rather than disabling Norton AV altogether you might like to try disabling the plugin instead. Have a look at this page (pubs.logicalexpressions.com) for information on how to do so. It mentions other problems that the plugin can sometimes cause which may not apply to you but their solution may be of some help. |

| 313575 | 2005-01-17 23:09:00 | The problem is still there after disabling office plug-in in Norton. I think I'll start using Word Pad! | pcn (6859) | ||
