Vantage 5 -- Desktop PC's locking up

Yep! I have had this problem since installing Vantage 5.0 and
reported it to them a number of times. They keep blowing me off
telling me that they can not reproduce the problem. The only way to
prevent it is not to load excel or word. Abort Word, Excel or Outlook
and Vantage releases. (CTL+ALT+DEL)

I have installed the training Dbase of 5 and also am running Vantage 4.
After the install of the client on the desktop PC I have had major problems
with Items opening, IE I have Vantage 4 or 5 running and receive a email in
outlook and the email has an attached file like an word.doc when I click on
it to open my PC locks and it take 1 1/2 - 2 minutes to open. Yet if I close
Vantage on the workstation and do the same again the doc opens straight
away..

The problem is not just outlook and Word doc, It also does the hanging in
tasks like short cut to explorer (windows key/E) also and JPEG's or links to
worksheets on the desktop. Yet if I go to the Start/Programs/Word it opens
straight away while Vantage is running

I have tried this on 3 pc's, 1 with 98 and the other 2 with 95 and all 3
have the same problem. It has something to do with Vantage 5 as it happens
immediately after the install. I only really run Office97 which I installed
2000 on and still have problem and VET anti-virus which I uninstalled but
neither fix the problem


Anyone else seen this????..How did you fix the problem????.......
