Network access very slow with Office 2003 apps

M

This problem has only cropped up in the last 2 weeks. Any attempt to open,
print, save, etc a file located on our network server (small office network)
results in a wait of about 30-45 seconds. The app locks-up until process is
complete. This occurs only with Office 2003 applications. FrontPage 2000 is
not affected. The very same files can be opened with no trouble using Open
Office.

I have deleted all normal.dot files, installed all available updates to
Windows and Office, and have deleted every non-critical mapped network drive
on every machine including the server. Still the problem persists. Also, the
same issue is present on a machine that has AVG installed as opposed to
Norton.

All PC's on network are running either Windows XP with SP2. All have 512MB
ram or more with processors rated at 2.4Ghz or better.

Would appreciate any suggestions.
