Hyperlinks work a bit differently between Excel 2000 and XP.
I suggest you try setting File / Properties / Summary / Hyperlink Base
to the name of a non-existent server (e.g. \\NoServer\ )

See if that cures the problem (a) for new hyperlinks you make and (b)
for the existing ones. If (a) but not (b) then remake the existing
hyperlinks.

If neither then make the hyperlinks using the HYPERLINK worksheet
function instead.
