When attempting to open word docs in explorer view using WSS 3.0 SP2 it takes 10 - 15 minutes to open. I found a workaround: If I recycle the web client service on the workstation it resolves the issue until I reboot the machine. Once the machine is rebooted it reverts to the issue of taking 10-15 minutes to open the word doc. Has anyone seen this or have any solutions. Here is the profile of the workstation:
Windows XP SP3
Office 2010
IE 8
