Sounds like you are using a network and getting the file from the server or some 
other PC on the network.
A 1gb. file can take a bit of time to move from PC to PC try saving the file to your 
machine so it can open quicker.

Have the Admin./IT make a new folder and save them in it.
He can do it from his desktop in XP. (remote hook up) 

Good Luck
