Q: This PC will open. Doc documents (Word) as read-only purely arbitrary. I mean, this document will normally be opened on another PC and after closing the file on the PC, the other may or may not open as read only.
This is completely random (or so it seems). A document can be opened normally and the next is read only.
This has nothing to do with user permissions (we have a Windows 2003 domain server) .
This PC has this problem with users having this problem on other PCs have.
So again, sometimes the documents on this PC will be opened as read-only, sometimes not. Not only do they read or opened by another guy in another PC.
What do you think?
Re:Any other ideas? Still having this prob
Re:Actually, I just checked it out… the AV is uninstalled and we have the same prob… but it was installed once (nod 32). How do I fix this?
Re:Some AV's are known to do this (this bug used to happen more in the past). Turn off nod's realtime scanner and try again (remember to turn it back on after!)
Re:Ok, I read some about this stuff… I'm only more confused. What does Oplock do exactly? It locks files so no other can access them? Why do you explain I have this prob in only one PC?
If I disable it, won't I have any problems such as two guys opening the same file and overwritting each other work?
I didn't quite get what oplocks is… 
Re:Holy crap… that sounds like a Missile locking system from a hi-tech starship !!!
I'll google it then… I'm using Nod32 in that PC, maybe…?
Re:Did somebody monkey with the SMB oplocks settings? (in a rush so I can't go into detail but give it a google.. SMB opportunistic locking). Some AV disables this during install.
