Problem with Vista File Sharing (Peer-to-Peer)?
Problem with Vista File Sharing (Peer-to-Peer)? Description:Microsoft Vista will lockup when more than one Vista workstation attempts to access the same file in a shared folder at the same time. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install a new copy of Vista (Does not matter what version) on two different computers.2. Install a new copy of MS Office 2003 each computer.3. Share the Public folder on one of the machines so that other computers can access it. (We will call this Machine A). 4. On Machine A, create a new MS Word document in the Public folder and leave it open. 5. On Machine B, browse to the network share on Machine A and try to open the same Word document. MS Word will freeze and will not come back until the file is closed on Machine A. More Information: This same thing will also happen with MS Access files (MDB). Now oddly enough, if Machine B is running Windows XP everything runs just fine. Does anyone know a workaround for this issue?
