Our office has 7 workstations - mostly new Dell Vostros and new laptops, all with at least 2GB memory. The server is an Acer with 4GB. All computers and server have Win 7 pro and the network is hard wired. I'm having a problem with occasional slowing of 2 particular client computers. AC doesn't crash on these 2 computers - it just gets really slow. We have to close down AC and restart the computers. This sometimes fixes it, but what always works is if we run the AC utilities on the server. (However, AC doesn't get slow on the other 5 workstations when these 2 problem ones slow down.)
On two other computers, AC crashes a lot, like several times a day. AC doesn't slow down on these 2, it just stops working and closes down by itself.
Do you guys think it's a network problem? There are 3 other workstations where we don't really have these slowing/crashing issues at all. And the server itself doesn't crash or require restart. I have some knowledge of computers/networking I've learned from this board and my own reading but I wonder if I should just hire someone to fix this issue. The workstations all have updated Windows software and 3 of the 4 problem workstations were purchased in 2011. I really don't know what could be wrong with them since the other 3 computers don't have this problem.
