Comment:

We have transferred our Novell network to another server. There are 2 users that have Micron laptops with Windows NT 4 that are now having a problem. When they are in Word or Excel and click to Save the file, the computer freezes for a couple of minutes, nothing but hourglass. This only happens when saving to a network drive, more so on one particular drive K. Selecting Save on a file from C will save instantly. They are using Office 2000 and Novell NT v4.8. If I logon to Novell as the same user on a desktop 95 PC, I am able to open and save the same file from K with no problems. If I logon as any user on the laptop with NT, saving to K does not respond. So, it would appear to be an issue with NT and the laptop. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Novell, uninstalled/reinstalled Office 2000, ran regclean, and searched the computer looking for any answers.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Please help me.
Thank you

You say that you have changed Servers and when saving word and excel docs to the c: drive has no problems. Now are your users inidcating a location to save the files. If yes then check their drive mappings. If the location to which the files are to be saved is mapped then: open word go to tools | options | file locations tab and edit the default file location to the location you want. For excel go to tools | options | general | default file location and point to the loaction to the folder on the server.
