Cli/Svr issue: slow, slow, & access prob
Our business manager relies heavily on an accounting program called Logos. Not only is his computer unbelievably slow these days, sometimes he cannot access the program at all; fortunately, he can sit at our fileserver, where the actual data resides, and login and do his entry.
Logos is a FoxPro-developed product, and most of the time on our network it's just fine. I have noticed in previous times that for some reason even though he logs out, the program shows him as still being logged in; that has caused issues before, but IT'S NOT THE CASE NOW.
What I'm needing help with is:
1) Is this a network permissions issue (server-side), or is the application having an issue in interacting with the network?
2) What the **** is making his computer go so slowly? Could it be the antivirus software (TrendMicro's Trend Office Scan WinNT, and the server runs ServerProtect). He's got 512 MB Ram, and there's no apparent reason for his access to be so slow.
3) I'm probably not seeing something obvious here, and I'm happy to add more info if you need it.
I really look forward to your help! Thanks!
