Does anyone know why Windows 2000 is causing this action
to process so slow?
Thanks,

I found the answer. Windows NT and Windows 2000 use a
different version of ole32.dll. The fix was to upgrade
Windows 2000 to service pack 3. After doing this links
updated immediately.
Hey that's useful to know.
Thanks for posting back.

A Windows 2000-based computer that is running Microsoft Office
programs that use hyperlinks to access resources on another computer
may operate more slowly than in previous versions of Windows.
This behavior [involving hyperlinks] occurs because Windows 2000 calls the
system GetLongPathNameW function instead of the function
built into Ole32.dll itself for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
