Save results in "Not Responding" message

This is a discussion about Save results in "Not Responding" message in the Windows Software category; I recently switched from a workgroup to a domain environment. All users are unable to save to their local hard drive. As soon as you pull up the save as dialog, the application hangs. This happens with any program (Word, Notepad, Excel, etc etc).

I recently switched from a workgroup to a domain environment. All users are unable to save to their local hard drive. As soon as you pull up the save as dialog, the application hangs. This happens with any program (Word, Notepad, Excel, etc etc).
 
If I add the user to the Domain Admin group or Administrators group on the domain, I'm able to save the document just fine.
 
Any ideas on how to resolve this? Obviously we don't want to have all of our users as Administrator.
 
These are all Windows XP workstations with Windows Server 2003 DC.
 
Thank you.

Sounds like a permission issue. Are the users apart of "domain users" in AD? Make sure the global policy mitigates the local policy.
