Hi all

i have a wearied problem?
i have a server with windows 2k SBS installed, also i have number of clients
with Win XP SP2 ?and MS word 2003 SP2?

when i try to open anything from the server its works great
but the problem that when i try to open a file (document, template, or even
text file) using word ?it take a lot of time.?
when i open the same file using another application (ex: Notepad)?
its opened as usual.?
i tried many thing like installing a local printer and use it as default
resets the fonts to default

Thanks Robert for you reply
i'll check tomorrow and post back.
but about the topic you send,
=======================
Causes:
1. The server has a backup software running.
No.

2. A ant-virus software is scanning on the server.
i tried to stop it with no chance.

3. A backup software agent or Open Transaction Manager is installed on
your computer.
I'll check.

4. The server has RAID 5/10 and one of Hard Disks is failed.
No.

5. The server has a hardware issue.
I'll check, but it seems not. how could i know?!


Thanks in advance.

Click to expand...

I would not leave it uninstalled. Reinstall it, but set its realtime
scanning to "inbound only".
 
Ya sure
Thanks for advice
But I will re-install it after being completely sure that its the reason
just after few more days

This problem can also be caused by ACT!8. The preload setting needs to be
changed from -stayrunning to -preload in:
