Fix slow loading pictures! (Windows OS')

[V aka Clayton]

If you are running a Windows operating system and
you are noticing a very long load for opening a picture file (jpeg, gif, bmp,
etc) than this just might do the trick for you!

I personally had a 10-15 sec delay waiting for a picture to open after
clicking it, so I can vouch for this method, it was an instant fix.

The thread with my problem can be seen here:

Alrighty, here is what you do:



1- Browse to the AppData, followed by the Local and than Microsoft directory of your user on your main drive. Example would be as follows:

C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\Microsoft

Note!!! In Windows XP, the directory will be slightly different.
The location will look more like the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\LocalSettings\Application Data\Microsoft



2- Find the folder named OIS. Go inside the folder and delete everything inside it (might be a lot or might be a little, doesn't matter, just delete everything inside).


3- Go back to the Microsoft folder and now find the folder titled Office. Go inside and delete all the contents.


4- Retry opening a picture file, the long and annoying delay is gone!






Hope this helped anyone who has this problem. It was bugging me so I am glad to share the fix!!!

(The fix should be instant and it should be a dramatic difference. If this did not fix the issue, let me know via PM.)

I am at working using XP. Was no OIS folder. But after clearing the office folder, all worked well. =]

Glad to see that it works in other windows operating systems. I will touch up this thread a bit when I get home.

EDIT: Updated main post, added a few things including a Windows XP example directory.


ZOMG I GOT STICKIED! I feel so honored!
