I've created a presentation using Power Point 2003 on a 17" monitor.  When I
play it on a wide screen monitor of a kiosk and access the presentation using
Power Point 2003 Viewer, it stretches out stuff and some of my clipart are
overlapping words etc.  Can you suggest a fix for this?

You might design a version that fits your wide screen Monitor by setting up the page size before you start creating your presentation. I no longer have 2003 on my system. But under layout, page set up you should have some options for your On-screen show the default is (4:3) which is your 17 inch monitor in 2007 there are (16:9) and (16:10) depending on your large screen size, along with Custom where you can set the slide sizes.

Or use this free tool to calculate the exact size of the slide.
