office applications and documents open very slowly

I migrated my documents to a new pc by "backing them up" to a USB drive using
"BounceBack". Then I selected to "restore" them to my new PC...my error may
have been saying "yes" to "preserve file structure".
After this, all Office aps take one minute to open, then one minute more to
open the document (if I clicked on a document.
Uninstalling Office 2000 and re-installing had not effect on the problem.
Upgrading to MS Office 2003 also had no effect. Any ideas??
If I open newly created documents form the application, they open instantly.

What happens if you disable the Office integration of your virus
scanner? Still slow?
What happens if you switch off the anti-virus scanner?
