[AccessD] OT: O97 apps freeze Win2K sp4

I once had this due to a bug in virusscan software...
Do a test disabling your virussoft, first on Workstation  and than on
the server to.
Please put them back on after your test....

There is also a bug in Word XP that causes a document to take 3 to 5
minutes to open when an object (like an Excel sheet) is inclded that was
created in an previous version).
There as no fix for it.
But as you have word 97 this should not be it.

I have stll have severall customers with Windows 2000 and Office 97 on a
Win NT server 4. Never had this problem.

Onderwerp: [AccessD] OT: O97 apps freeze Win2K sp4

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?

TIA,

Jim
