[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1397278, member: 56379"] I have never had any troubles with ONYX...as long as I stick with ONLY the default settings for ONYX (aka...don't check any "unchecked" boxes unless someone knows exactly what they're doing). All of the unusual behaviors listed sounds like some preference files got deleted or reset...since most of the issues are cosmetic/user setup stuff. The spinning beachball when MS Word starts up for the first time again sounds like a preference file got deleted. Since whenever each of the MS Office programs is run for the first time...the app does some sort of setup procedure which makes the first launch take longer. It sounds to me that maybe an "unchecked" box got checked by accident...and maybe ONYX is running a procedure/cleaning activity that is not part of the default setup. If you're not 100% sure if a box got checked by accident...I would delete the copy of ONYX that you have...then redownload ONYX. This way you will have a "fresh" copy of ONYX with ONLY the default settings selected. HTH,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
