When opening a file, Word stops responding.

I have 2gb of ram, and I have very few background programs running. Just standard Windows processes, and a few from iTunes. Usually less than 50 percent of the physical memory is used.

Then I'm out of ideas, sorry.

That's a bummer. This issue is really bothersome.

But why would it be the ram? The files I'm using are hundreds of pages long, but they are basically just text, and each file is less that 1 mb...

Is it wort upgrading to 4 gig ram?
