Got this email from an associate at work, they are running an older Dell Latitude C600 laptop, WXP Pro SP2 with Office 2003.

If I open WORD, then open the document, the fan doesn't go off

I guess they meant the fan doesn't go on?

... - If I do right click on Start, do explore and double click on the document file name, the fan goes on and stays on until I go into task manager and shut it down -

I guess they shut down Windows Explorer using the Task Manager? Otherwise what are they shutting down?


Any ideas why use of the one method triggers the fan? Perhaps this is due to high CPU load while "browsing" in a network environment even if the file is local?

This could be, especially if they have mapped networked drives that do not reside on servers.
