Peter, reopening the file doesn't make it run faster, it makes it work, period. The initial opening of the file results in a predictable IDCS4 freezeup hard crash.
For fun, try copying a file and all the links to a local folder and see if that works any better. At least then we'd know if was network related.

I have run updates and repeated deleted all the InDesign preferences files.
I have Suitcase installed but have deleted the InDesign plug in and the Font Activation folder, I have also turned off Suitcase, turned off the Suitcase Core Engine and removed it as a startup item.
Console does not indicate a software conflict, except it shows McAfee VirusScan running
IT installed McAfee VirusScan on this machine. I do not know how to turn it off.
When you try to create a new document do you get the document setup dialog?
Does InDesign show as running in Task Manager, or as Not Responding?
This could be another case of "invisible dialog" waiting for a response from you.
Peter
I do get the dialog box.
I am not familiar with Task Manager, but InDesign is definitely running and does not freeze unitl I try to either create a new document or open an old one.

You can open task manager by right-clicking in the system tray in the taskbar. Choose task manager, and look at the "Applications" tab first. What is the status of InDesign, which should be listed there if it is running. If it's hung it will say "not responding."
Next place to look is in the Performance tab, where you'll see current CPU usage and a box called Commit Charge. If the CPU usage is at 100% and stays there, the processor is working on something, and that may be either interfering with ID, or it could indicate a malfunction in ID itself. In the Commit Charge box, if the "Peak" value is near or above the "Limit" value it is an indication that you need more memory to run all the stuff you have open.

Don't know where dig up. Exept one: in working system InDesign use cpu-0 on 50% and cpu-1 on 10%. In second system InDesign use cpu-1 on 50% and cpu-0 on 10%. But in both system CPU affinity set on default, both cpu.
