yes, starting with v6.0, there is no longer a 16 bit version, only 32 bit. ( not that it should have anything to do with this)
i run an AMD 450, altho with win98se, and i dont have any slowness with opening options.
Since you said some other xp users are having the same probs, i gather others you asked dont. Wonder if the "Smooth edges of screen fonts" windows function that others have mentioned could be an issue here. Does this happen to you ALL the time or only under certain conditions?
