Word, Excel lock up when using open dialog box
Hello,
I have a Win 7 computer with MS Office 2003 Pro installed. 8 gb of ram with an almost empty 500 gb hdd. I have made all updates to the computer.
Word/Excel open just fine. If I open a document from the "recently Used" list it opens, modifies, saves great. If i use File > Open, or use the Open folder icon it opens fine and I can select and open any file displayed.
But if I click on the down arrow in the Look-In box at the top, it could be 8-15 seconds (or longer) before the list of folders and drives appear. If I forget and click it more than once the box says not responding and grays out. This usually requires closing Word or Excel and starting over.
I have uninstalled and re-installed Office 2003. I have googled it to death, tried the MS Fix-it tool, all to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Don

Thank you all. I apologize for not having more patience. I reworded my search and found an answer from MS that worked. Turned out I had a bad network drive location. I removed it and all is well.
Thanks again,
