I have not seen this behavior before. Which verison of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you currently using? Does this occur at design time or runtime and does it occur for every report?
Which version of Delphi are you using? If you set your library path to \RBuilder\Source and pause the application when it hangs where in the RB source is the problem occuring?
Have you tried creating a minimal example and running it on Windows Server 2003? If not, try creating a minimal app with nothing but a form, button and empty report. In the OnClick of the button, call ppReport1.Print. Then try to execute this application on Windows 2003.
When you say the preview "hangs" are you able to see the preview window? At what point do you loose control of the form?
I have seen a similar problem with Windows 2003 Server (Delphi 7 and RB 10.06). The problem occurred when I called "Print" off of the Report control. If I waited a long time the preview window would eventually appear (after about 5 minutes). The same program worked fine under XP. Unfortunately I am not in a position to be able to debug this as the problem has now gone away ! This is rather annoying as I'm unable to reproduce this but there is still the potential for it to fail on a customers site. If I can get it into this strange state again, I will try to debug it.

Using Delphi 7. As I said, I only tried it at run-time as I have no 2003
with Delphi installed, so pausing in Source is not an option.
