[AccessD] OT: O97 apps freeze Win2K sp4

...I can think of a hundred reasons to upgrade from O97 to O2K3 ...but OS
compatibility isn't one of them :)

> Has anyone encountered any problems with Word freezing on opening when
using O97 on Win2K sp4?  We seem to be having trouble with a couple of
workstations where this is happening.  Word will freeze for 3 or 4 minutes
then startup and run normally.  A second issue with the same users is when
they save a file the same freeze happens.  All of our users PCs are set to
save to My Documents folder which is mapped to a network share.  I have sp4
and do not have any problems at all.  I've also not heard about this
previously.
> Our notwork guys want us to upgrade to O2K3 as result of this sporadic
issue claiming that O97 is not optimized for Win2K and was never meant to
run on it.  Can there be any truth to that?
