Applications are taking a long time to open.

One of the common reasons why one might be facing this is due to RAM issues. Make sure you don’t have too many applications running at the same time, eating up your processor speed. Also run a virus scan and try to remove any spyware or virus that may be on your system.

If this doesn’t help and if it is one particular application that is taking too long to open then try to un/reinstall that application. To do this:

• Go to Startclick on control panel .Now select   Add or remove programs.

Case 1: To Uninstall an application:
      Select the application and click on uninstall.

Case 2: To reinstall an Application.
      If the application already exists on your system and shows up on the Add or remove programs list select it and click on Install or add.
      If the application is not listed in the Add or remove programs list then use the CD which came along with the application and install it again.

This should take care of your application and you should now be able to open it without any problems.
