Excel Problems with Excel in Vista

[jasonleehouston]

I have just installed Vista on 4 computers in my workplace. When I had XP I had a shared Excel file in Excel 2007 that others in the office would open as a read only file, while it was being edited by the main user. Now, with Vista installed, I open excel and try to open the file on another computer. You can see on the bottom of the screen where it is trying to open the file and it freezes up Excel. Any ideas what may be causing this.
