Random Slowdowns since Video Driver Update

[Matthew]

Hi All,

Please help, we are a business who uses a in-house
database, the database has started to experience random
slowdowns, I have troubleshooted and found that the
database runs fine from a local drive but has these
slowdowns when run from our Win 2000 server, this was a
sudden change, it has run for the previous 18 month's from
our server fine.

I have tracked the time it changed to our IT support
vendor updating a Savage3 video driver on the server,
however they say its just a coincedance. The slowdowns can
be chariterised by forms & reports tacking 30+ seconds to
open, it is very much as if there is a communication
slowdown but none of our other apps or Access databases
are affected, can anyone help with this, many thanks in
advance.

Regards
Matthew

It's unlikely to be the video driver on the server.
