I am having what appears to be a full fledge lock-up of any of our computers when we use any Ms-Office 2003 Apps to save to the My Documents folder when it is setup for Offline Files - Sychronizing to our Windows 2003 Server… It doesn’t seem to matter what we have for Avast on the server or the workstations. Tried Stopping services to no avail… The only thing I can make work is to uninstall Avast.
What is the OS on the workstation?
And do I understand it correctly that stopping avast on-access scanner on both the server and the workstation does NOT resolve the problem??
Thanks

The OS on the laptops with this issue is Windows XP Pro with SP2 installed. Also in the last post shows that the server has Windows 2003 Server Installed. As soon as you set the my documents folder on the desktop to point to a shared folder on the server and have it set for offline synchronize - is when it hangs trying to save files in any ms-office 2003 app. Could it be that MS-Office apps are creating a temp file in that folder??
