Each time I try to view the 'styles' by pushing the Styles button I get the following message:

"For first time use, the stylepicker list of styles needs to be rebuilt. When it is being rebuilt, would you like it to find all styles, including ones that you have made (this may take about 30 seconds)."

I get this message every time and it does take at least thirty seconds to regenerate.

I have version 2009 - I downloaded the lastest updates, I tried resetting to Factory defaults, I've closed and reopened the program but nothing seems to work. My previous versions would allow me to change styles 'on the fly', but this 'rebuilding' at each time I select stlyes totally has me flustered.

I'm running Windows Vista on an HP laptop with: AMD Turion™ 64 x2 2.1 GHz with 4 gig of RAM

I went back 15 pages in the forum but didn't see anything related to this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
