Hi Guys, This is a really annoying issue. When using Microsoft office 2007 i have one user who is part of the admin team,that when ever we go to open a document through Word,Excel or any Office suite apps.It takes about a minute to load and comes up not responding.The network drives can all be accessed fine through my computer and can be clicked to open.But when the user goes to file>open within word it freezes up and takes ages.I cant understand I have removed Office File Validation,Changed local Intranet settings cant think of anything else.It is strange because when I log in as another admin user on the machine the problem does not occur..So I dont really now! Help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Hi all, Since coming back there now seems to be a weird problem with office 2007 apps (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Publisher and Access) Users can open Word documents from network drives, or create a new document, when they press the save button(after successfuly browsing their h:) the dialog box greys and an a (Not responding) message appears on the title. The computer is still usable for other things and if they leave the computer alone, the document is eventually (After 5 mins or more) saved. Not ideal when they all come to save at the end of a lesson. It is only office that is affected, any other program saves without delay. It must of been something that changed over the summer that caused it, but I'm not sure what. File servers are the same (Running 2008 R2), sofware and image are the same... I had a very similar problem when I was setting up a new Windows 7 suite, but this was resolved by setting the Web Client service to automatic. The computers that are affected already have this service automatic and running, and are XP OS. Staff, and administrators do not have this save problem using the same machine that would cause a student a problem. I'm currenty thinking it could be: Network traffic related, but I have no way of measuring how the network is performing, I installed wireshark but its all gibberish to me. Our switches are mainly 3com 4400s Printer related - No printers have changed, but I've seen office do stupid things if it's waiting for a printer to respond. DFS related - Our file shares use DFS Windows Update related Has anyone else had this, and solved it, or can suggest anything else to try?
