I've had this issue with Microsoft Excel. I'm not sure exactly why. I don't think it is program dependent. All I can think of his a timeout when you're accessing a file the first time through a mapped drive. Let's say you have two drives in your PC and you mapped an "astro" directory in drive "D:" as letter "S", boot your machine then start to access the file via "S" rather than "D:\astro" you can get a timeout and error message. It seems also linked to the indexing of the files by the OS if the drive contains a lot of files. btw I'm still on Win7. Same problem.
