Amazingly enough Jim, our situation does seem similar. We use a Win98
computer as our main file server, and the workstations are all Win2000
professional. The ones that seem to not be experiencing any problems are the
ones that have not had the latest security updates. We are going to attempt
to remove the security updates from a single workstation to see if that
solves our issue. If not, we will try the server.
