PP conversion to HTML mess?

[rick miles]

Hi,

I converted a 117 slide powerpoint presentation to html for an online
course our non profit is doing. The online show, using IE will lock up,
not show some of the small gifs, and the browser will close randomly...
here's the kicker... I put it into Firefox, and while the screen is a
bit funky, I can blow through the slides like a banshee, with no
problems... what's wrong? Here's the link:

Thanks.

To answer my own question... for some reason I changed servers, and it
worked fine. The problem for some reason was a server with front page
extensions... no idea... but it works fine now.

Weird. Same thing here (only Opera flies through while MSIE6 chokes).

One thing I noticed is that it only seems to lock up MSIE when I'm blitzing
through it quickly; if I go rather more slowly, it doesn't seem to lock. And
once it's crashed on, say, slide 29, I can restart MSIE and go back to the same
slide ... no problem.

You might try a different set of export options; turn off the "Use VML" one,
for example to see if that helps.

Or all the images are in the cache. <g>

If you want to post the link to the new server, I'd be happy to see if I can
make MSIE choke for ya.
