Hello, I have a Windows xp system at work and there is a delay after opening
a document from the network server. the XP machine is less then 6 months old
and has always had this issue. the version of office is either 2003 or
office xp. I don't remember at the top of my head. the other computers there
have the same office version but older operating systems. There are 4 other
computers with windows 2000 on them and have no problems like the windows xp
does. the files are being hosted on a nt4 server but if I create and share a
file on one of the windows 2000 workstations I have the same result.
When I open a local document, or even copy the networked document to the
local machine first, it open right away and you can immediately start
editing it. The network is 100 based and does have pretty good speed. I
don't think that is it. (especially since the other computers don't have the
issue)
here is a little m ore detail on what happens. I open the shared folder
which is called 2004, then select the filei want. In this case it is
roads.doc. now it opens word and displays an image of the document after
about 2 seconds or less. If the file was local I could go ahead and edit it
now but, I need to wait an additional 15-80 seconds. It has become longer at
times but usually stays within the 15-80 seconds.
I have no idea what is going on during this time. As I noted earlier, it
doesn't do this on local files. Also none of the windows 2000 workstations
with the same version of office does this. it is very annoying could someone
please point me in the right direction of what this could be. not only am I
interested in reducing the amount of time (getting rid of it would be ideal)
but I am curious to what is causing it. after this annoyance is solve the
other workstation are supposed to be upgraded to xp also. thank you
