Explorer crashes when trying to open a folder on a shared folder on a Win 2003 server

Hello,

I have a domain which has about 30 computers with windows XP. Today I received the first computer equipped with windows vista business. Installing the computer and connecting it to the domain, worked great.
I logged on to the client pc with the administrator account for the domain. I can see al the computers on the network and also all the shares on the windows server 2003 which acts as a file server. When i access one of these shares I get to see all of the folders and files in this share. NOW it happens, when i try to enter a folder, the explorer ALWAYS crashes. I've tried login in with other users, administrator, nothing seems to help. I've even tried waiting for half an hour... Nothing helps. Strangely enough when i access a shared folder on another client pc everything works fine. So I think it has something to do with security. The event viewer doesn't give me any hints.

Remember, this is a clean install, so no other software has been installed yet, nor any anti-virus or firewall...

ANY help with be gladly appreciated, for the moment I have installed XP on this PC and everything works fine, but I would like to be able to connect vista computers in the future...

Greetings,
Brian
