<<i have gotten msword to open rapidly once again via the desktop icons>>

I was having the same problem as you and found out that the culprit was my virus detection program. (Inocutel T) I disabled it and Word starts up as advertised. If the problem returns, you might give this a shot.

<<i may go for a reinstall on the realplayer program. i had G2 and it was fine, then i was prompted to upgrade to realplayer7. sometimes these apps get too complicated and it's difficult to keep up with what upgrade is required.>>

I agree about upgrades,the rule of thumb I use now is is that if the program is working well then I disregard upgrades.Thats why I uninstalled IE 5.01 and reinstalled plain old 5.0.
Cheers
