my documents?

Q: when i try to open a document in my documents it takes for ever whats gooing on

A: Sometimes it takes a few minutes for varying reasons, Here are several possibilities. 1) Your security products are scanning it before opening - Norton has such a feature 2) Your document requires a specfic program to open it and if it isn't running your computer needs to initialize it - eg: clicking on a .doc document requires Word to open first or a music file that needs to open the applicable media player 3) Lack of system resources - If you have a lot of programs running all of which takes RAM, it could slow things down
