Hm. Have you applied SP-1 to Office 2003? If not, open PowerPoint or Word or
whatever and go to Help/Check for Updates. Install SP-1. Even if it doesn't
resolve this issue, it does resolve other Office 2003 issues. In fact, I
consider it a *critical* patch for PPT 2003.
Searching Google Groups in the microsoft.public.design.gallery newsgroup
http://tinyurl.com/7355k turns up some suggestions from some others,
including
You might try changing hardware acceleration.

Also
Go to Start | Programs | Microsoft Office | Microsoft Office Tools | Launch
Clip Organizer then from the Tools Menu Select Compact
Also
If you still have trouble from the Clip Organizer Help Menu run Detect and
Repair.
Also
Are you searching Online (e.g. is Web Collections checked in the "Search In"
dropdown)? If so, turn it off, does this problem go away?

It's a new laptop, I just installed office student edition 2003, I emptied
the temporary internet files and it just freezes when I try to insert a
clipart... everything else is working fine.
I'll appreciate your ideas, Thanks
Isabel

Which version of PPT are you using?
Try emptying your Temporary Internet Files folder and see if that helps.
