HTML generated Excel spreadsheet does not always display on web pa

I generated html for an Excel spreadsheet using Excel's publish function. I
then copied this html into a web gem on my web page and published the page.
I am running IE6 and XP (Office 2000) as well as Norton Internet Security.
The web page loads fine for me.

However, a couple of my users have indicated that they see a square with a
dot in it. One user is running IE6/WinME, another AOL's browser/IE6/Win98.
The WinME user also has Zone Alarm but he turned it off. The other user says
she does not have any firewall s/w running. The WinME user tried accessing
this page from his work computer (it loaded fine....think that was an IE6/XP
confiig) as well as his girlfriend's PC (it also loaded fine...also think it
was IE6/XP).

So why would it appear this spreadsheet does not display for what appears to
be older versions of o/s? On the surface, I would have assumed the problem
was related to firewall s/w, accelerator s/w, IE settings. Or is this an
Excel html problem? Note I also uploaded the html spreadsheet file and
placed a link on the page to see if the different "implementation" of the
spreadsheet might make a difference. It doesn't. Can anyone help provide
guidance into how to troubleshoot this? Or is there something I can or
should be doing to ensure this is not a problem for a user (regardless of
what they are running)?

Neither user has autovue installed. Also, I have other spreadsheets
available from the same web site. The xls itself was uploaded and a link
provided to it. Neither user has a problem accessing spreadsheets made
available in this manner.
