We have a small network of around 100 computers. Most have win xp sp2; there
are a few who have win 2000. Some people have office 2003 and others have
word/excel 2000 depending on what department they are in. We are noticing
that the people who have word/excel 2000 (regardless of win xp or win 2000)
are having trouble opening files that are saved on the network drive. We
changed everyone's file locations under ToolsOptionsFile Locations to their
folder on the network drive so their work gets backed up nightly. Word/Excel
opens fast and you can click the folder to open. As soon as you click the
folder, it opens to the network drive, but as soon as you try to browse
around or click on a folder within the network drive, it hangs for 30 seconds
to a minute before opening. Does anyone have any suggestions?

On each computer that has this problem, right-click on the My
Computer icon on the Windows desktop, left-click on Disconnect
Network Drive, and disconnect any mapped drives that are not
currently available.

All of our network drives are currently available. Do you have any other
suggestions?
