excel freezes maybe xp syncroniser

[Glyn]

have found the following

when i load avast onto a fresh install windows xp

  ok here is all the details just to help

1) server is a Linux based server running latest version of Samba
2) documents are located in the users folder

when i access the files no problem untill i wish to save. then Excel freezes up and the only way i have found to get out is to hit the power! it even killed task manager!

now if i dissable the syncronise on that folder it seemed to work, untill now it is kicking up lots and lots of temp files in the doc folder


any ideas?

Which 'synchronize' feature are you refering to? Offline files?
And are you saying that if you turn this feature off, the problem disappears?

Thanks

er.. yep

the offline files.

as soon as I turn it off things begin to work. problem being now though that it creats tons of temp files!
