I've had similar issues before with 2003 on TS. Did you do a custom
installation of Office 2003? 
the office 2003 installer is aware of terminal services, so you should use
the default install options it presents, then add anything in that you would
like post-install. 
 
That was one the issues from memeory, we did a full install of office and it
would crash and hang randomly.

Subject: [THIN] Office 2003 applications hang


Office 2003 SP2.  Citrix PS4 with memory optimizations turned off and memory
tuning turned on.  Typically it's Outlook but Word and Excel will just lock
up randomly in a Citrix sesssion.  It doens't matter if it's a seamless
session or published desktop.  sometimes we will get this error message in
the event logs:

Other times we get nothing and the only thing to show that it is locked is
the processor spikes to either 25%, 50% or 75% (never to 100 though).  I
have just turned off cpu tuning on the server to see if it makes a
difference.  My feeling thoug his that an application will lock up still but
now take 100% of the cpu.  Has anyone seen this before and have a solution? 

 

Thanks all,
