Ensure that SP versions are the same on server and workstation.
Recreate the Revelation NT Service
Ensure no 3D screen saver runnning on server
Do all workstations lock at the same time or only a single workstation.

We have the same problem on a 16 workstation system NT sp4 with win98 workstations. We think it may be a timing problem so we are running the workstations at 10mhz v. 100 and that helped half the workstations running in the same building as the server. The other half of the workstations are connected by fiber and are still having lockups. When it happens one workstation goes first then all in the same building go. It appears to be a dos problem because we get the dos message "Fatal error reading drive …. etc. abort retry fail". We cannot recover by keying 'R' and have to kill the dos session and restart the Arev app. Other programs in windows are not affected or recover without locking. We have set the dos properties to expanded memory=4096, extended memory=none, background processing=not checked (enabled), and idle sensitivity to near low. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

We are using both 95 and 98. The one thing I have found is the size of the database. Our company that has a smaller database is having no problems. It is only the large database that is locking up.
It is 290 megs plus.
