Why does Microsoft Word take so long to open?

Hi,
When i click on Microsoft Word, the "egg timer" thing runs for ages, before it opens.
Why is this?
Is it partly because i dont have a SSD?
Or is it because i have malware in the laptop...slowing it up?

You are having way too many issues with this laptop. Sounds like a hard drive issue. You need to take it somewhere and get it checked out, reinstall windows or whatever.

Things to do to improve speed is to upgrade to 8gb of ram and add an SSD, then reinstall windows fresh.
