Server problems

homingbird

Hi the place where my sister work's is having trouble if anyone can help this is all she told me:

there are 4 PCs and a server. On Michelle’s PC (XP) eQOffice performs acceptably. However on Mark’s (Win7), Ger’s (Win7) and Colman’s (XP) it is very slow. The test we were doing today was to search for a batch in the traceability module and then open the batch. The search time is small on all systems but to open the batch takes about 2secs on Michelle’s and in the region of 3mins on the others.



All the PCs are wired to the network – not wireless. We swapped the network cables on Michelle’s and Mark’s but the speeds did not change.



Looking for any ideas why the same program running on similar PCs should behave so differently.
All i can think of is it might be there anti virus software.Any help would be much appreciated.
