I'll ask again, what changed? New software installed? Upgrade to Office?

New virus scanner? Power failures due to thunderstorms? (We had a couple

clients lose hardware last week. Sometimes hardware's flaky after T-storm)

Good to know. It's probably not a recent MS patch, as those are the 2nd

Tuesday. It's worth scanning the machine for malware. Clean out all the

temp files. Defrag the drive. Check to make sure the NIC is well-seated, if

appropriate. And replace the network cable.

Oh, and try the app on another machine to see if you see the same behavior.

That will confirm it's the machine, and not something funky in the network

or printer's buffer or something.
