Have you done a WinUpdate lately , I can see you have SP2 not SP3 so try updating Office thru the Windows site .

Next thing I would do is run a program like Ccleaner making sure to check the Office 2003 box . If that does work try reinstalling Office .

try checking your taskmanager when doing those things to see if anything is eating up cpu or ram.

Definitely do what 'peat moss' said first. If that doesn't work, however, try reinstalling Microsoft Office. Then, if that doesn't work, do what 'reese' said about the task manager.

you might also want to try running a chkdsk on your drives as it could possibly be a disk error, and if you havent defragged in a while it might a good idea too.
