Opening files Performance Issue

[Guest chris]

I have a network of 20 computers. We are using Office 2003 sp2 or sp3.

About 5 of them are experiencing issues when opening files (word, excel,

power point,

 

TXT, PDF, ETC). When a user opens a file though My Documents it doesn't

matter

 

if it's over the network or local. It can take 2-3 minutes for the file to

load and show.

 

If the user opens Word, Excel, Notepad, or Adobe though a shortcut (without

a file)

 

and then goes to file -> open & chooses a file it will open regularly.

 

The computers are identical to the ones w/o issue. They are 3.2gHz 1gb ram.

WinXP SP2,

 

The Server is Win03 SP1.

 

 

Any advice?
