PPT Web document open error on Win 2003 Server

[TK]

I have a problem to open an HTML document which has been "saved as web page"
by PPT 2003.

First, I open a .PPT file and "save as web page" on to a file server share,
the client machine is WinXP+sp2 and the server running windows 2003 server
standard.

Second, I move to server console from client machine, and then I try to open
the HTML ppt document by double clicking the file icon on the server's
console. Then an worning dialogbox poped up and said that "ActiveX control
included in this page is prohibitted to execution by current security
setting of the browser".

Even if I change the IE security setting to "Low" for Intranet site, no
luck.
What parametere I should change in IE security settings?

best regards,
TK

Some points I should add are...

1. I can open the HTMLed ppt document located on the server share by IE from
client machine without no warning.
2. I dont have PPT 2003 installation on the server machine. (This is the
reason why I want to save the file as web page)
3. Some HTMLed ppt documents have same problem but others works well.

Anybody have experienced this?
Any workaround?

What's the difference between the presentations that work and those that don't?
What's in the second that's not in the first?

Have you checked the Active-X settings for Internet and Local intranet zones?

Thank you for response, Steve.

Although still I haven't play with whole documents, only difference I could
found on those documents by now is "animation effect".
Most of files what are pops-up the warning box including one or more
animated page(s). Is this the source?

ITOH, Yes I did changed all ActiveX relating settings to "enable" for
INTRANET zone, but didn't for Internet because all documents are located on
the local disk of the server machine. Any specific reason to care those
settings for Internet zone? Because this is server machine, so I don't want
to keep the machine safe for Internet browsing.

Thank you.

I think you need a downloaded component to play animations in PPT's HTML
(AXPlayer, I think it's called). Read on ...

(saw your other message; "don't" = "do" <g>)

I'm guessing that the browser's trying to download the AXPlayer component from
MS and your permissions are stopping it (since it's on the inter rather than
intra-net zone).

You might try changing the internet zone security settings for just a few
minutes, while you try to run one of these problem HTML files; then set it
back. That might be enough. Or put microsoft.com in the trusted sites list
and give it more expansive permissions.

Hello,

Since your web presentations contain animations, the system on which it is
being viewed needs to have the Microsoft Office Animation Runtime installed:
