When I click on the paper clip to attach a file and click the drop-down arrow to browse to a different location, the application stops responding and eventually closes. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Office. Any ideas? I am running Office 2003 on Windows XP.

This also happens when I am in Word or excel and attempt to save a file via "save as" and click on the drop-down menu to browse to a different location other than the default. The application freezes up and exits. I have ensured that there are no viruses or spyware/adware running on my computer.

Do you have alot of networked folders?

I've noticed a slight pause while 2003 tries to gather data for my "My Computer" location (networked drives few CD/DVD drives).
