I have a home network with 4 PCs, three using XP/3 and 1 using Win7. Until recently, I had the three XP boxes in one workgroup (not homegroup) and the Win7 box in a different workgroup. Everything was running fine. I got anal and decided to rename some of the boxes and put them all in one workgroup, the one that the Win7 box is in. Immediately after I did all that, I noticed that every time I did a "save as" file function on the Win7 box, no matter the application, the dialog window took much longer to appear - sometimes almost 10 seconds. This is not the case on the XP boxes. Following a suggestion I got on the Microsoft Answers Forum, I removed all the shares on my network and even removed the 3 XP boxes from the network, and I turned off Network Discovery. The problem persisted. Only when I disabled my LAN connection did the dialog windows appear instantly, as they had done before. I have now restored the original configuration, but the "save as" dialog window continues to come up very slowly on the Win7 box. Any thoughts, clues or suggestions as to how to fix this non-critical but very irritating problem would be greatly appreciated... H.Hawgman
