Excel 2003 hangs when opening a network file

Excel 2003 hangs when opening a network file

//

I came across this issue today where opening a network file caused Excel 2003 to hang or crash. Opening the file locally worked normally.

 

Removing security updates KB2541025 and KB2502789 immediately resolved the issue.
