Heres the layout
1 window 2k DC server sp4, file and print sharing.
windows Xp clients
When I open the network share and open a word doc file.
it takes 8-10 seconds to save or it crashes.
if I exit the network share window (explorer) and open the
doc from Word it works OK.
This is happening with all file types open thru explorer
and on all client computers.
Any clue?
There are no event errors in the server.
 
What crashes? Explorer, Word?

Have you run a spy-ware scan on the machine? They often hook into Explorer
and can cause weird problems like this. You may also want to run Windows
Update and/or Office Update to make sure you are not running into a bug in
Windows/Office.
