locksup when pulling file from share

We're running a windows 2K network with XP workstations. Most of those
machines are running Office XP with a small number of users running Office
2003. When you open up a share drive (home) and select a powerpoint
presentation. It launches powerpoint and then just sits there. If you open
up task manager it has powerpoint listed twice (not responding) It takes
forever to kill the app. The next time you try to open the app it states
that it did not open properly, would you like to start in safemode. Off of
the share it does not work for anybody. If you copy that same file from the
share drive to the local machine and open it, it opens right up. This issue
does not happen with any other type of file ie word, excel or access just
powerpoint
