Hi all, Has anyone seen this before? Using Word for Windows 95 (v7) if you attempt to save a doc with some formatting to a Windows NT 4.0 server or workstation share (mapped drive is OK) Word hangs for about a minute. During this time you don't see Word refresh the screen. During this time, if Task Manager is open, then you see Word as "Not Responding" under NT4.0. If you trace the save, the actual data transfer takes about 3 seconds end to end. A client has about 500 workstations with Office 95 and is looking for a fix. Can anyone suggest what is broken? This problem is not apparent under Word 6 or Word 97, or if you are saving to an NT 3.51 machine. A sample document I built has some borders around some text with some different font sizes and bold/italics/underline. I know this is an Office problem on the face of it, but I don't quite understand how Word treats an NT 4 file share different to an NT3.51 file share. Thanks & regards, Adrian [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

Hi, FYI: This behaviour is a bug with RDR.SYS on the NT 4.0 box acting as a server. Service Pack 3 contains the fix for this, though it is still in Beta. The workaround is to disable Opportunistic Locking on the server via the registry, under the lanmanserver key. Thanks & regards, Adrian Moore [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||
