It sounds like LockServer isn't running on your machine.  Make sure 
you've set it to run and that should take care of the lockserver error. 
  The exact service name is "CVSNT Locking Service".

If it is running, then you might have Anti-Virus or a firewall 
interfering with it.  There's also a utility I've seen referenced here 
that fixes the XP networking stack in some cases.
