OK, So I recently upgraded one of my 3 stores retail/POS/Inventory software from a DOS based program to a Windows based program.

The conversion all went well and overall, everything seems fine. There is 1 workstation that houses the data and the other 2 user machines (Win2K) connect to it. The "server" machine is a P4 640 (HT), Win XP Pro.

For some reason, in the POS software, when you go to complete a transaction, there is a 24 second delay in posting and printing the receipt.

Now I have the identical server here in my main office. I copied their entire database over to my server and across a network with more machines, the same delay does not exist.

Ideas?
