This problem seems to be only associated with PowerPoint and not the other Office Apps.  Also, whenever I minimize the PowerPoint windows they will group together on my taskbar but little gray square boxes appear on the top left hand side of my screen.  It takes a bit of clicking around to get a different PowerPoint window to maximize after it has minimized as well.  Any help is always greatly appreciated.

The problem with the "square boxes" and minimizing/maximizing is a known bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23108

Your laptop freezing is Wine exposing some other problem with your system, most likely a buggy graphics driver. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-7f5c96516e61609acb0b2de9c0e6e97eadaff31a
