Is it one of these perhaps?
HP's current crop of <$400 machines.
It certainly shouldn't be an issue.
Is the Win8 machine running 64-bit windows? What about other machines - are they running 64-bit OS's, or 32-bit?

Shared from where?
A busy LAN with large files is a different environment to your MacBook tests with smaller local files.
How many degrees of variability are there?
Can you test local (unshared) files on local disks for example?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I don't remember what was on the box, but within Windows it was declared as Intel Pentium at 2.8. I was surprised Pentium still exists. Files were on local drive. They were just opened with the share flag.
Other machines? I suppose my friend's box was 64 bit Win7. Native OSX on Air as well as emulated in VMWare are both 64 bit. XP service pack 3 in VMWare on my Air is most likely 32 bit. My customers machines are what they are. Win7Home and Win8Pro. Can't check anything else for the moment. Older computer is less than a year old. The Win8 computer is 3 days old.
