powerpoint producer not preloading

We use Powerpoint/Producer to publish our class lectures online, and
for some reason the lectures don't properly preload on my computer.
When I open the lecture, the preload process DOES occur; I can see the
"Loading, please wait..." in the corner and I can see files being
downloading in the status bar of the browser. However, after the
lecture starts to play, I notice that nothing has really been
"preloaded." If the lecture has large images, I may have to wait up
to 20 seconds for the images to load, so I find myself just staring at
a blank screen as the lecturer keeps talking. I have to pause the
video, wait for the image to load, and then resume.

I am using Vista Ultimate 32-bit with IE7 with a fast DSL connection.
A friend of mine uses XP with IE7 and the same connection and for her
the lectures preload properly. I don't think it's a problem with
Vista, but maybe my settings in IE7 need to be changed.

Any ideas?
