I am using Producer 2003. I synchronized the presentation (PPT 2003)
without a problem, though "Preview Presentation" did not work.
I published the presentation locally and when I tried to view it on my
machine the video runs fun but the slides window shows a "This program
cannot display the wabpage" message.
The template I use is the Default template.
Any idea what is the problem and how it can be solved?

What browser are you using to in your attempt to view the published
presentation? Are there any addons in installed? Any special security
restrictions set in the browser?

I am using IE7.

I am not aware of any special addons so I'm looking in the list of addons.
It includes the following:
Adobe PDF reader, Diagnose Connection Problems, Google, Google Toolbar
Helper, Groove GFS Browser Helper, HtmlDlgSafeHelperClass,
IEAnimBehaviorFactory Class, Java Plug-in 1.6.0_05, 1.6.0_11, Java(tm)
Plug-In 2 SSV Helper, Java(tm) Plug-In SSV Helper, JQSIEStartDetectorImp
Class, Microsoft Silverlight, MUWebControl Class, myBabylon English Toolbar,
Research, scriptproxy, Send to Bluetooth Device, Send to OneNote, Shockwave
Flash Object, Skype, Windows Live Sign-in Helper, Windows Media Player,
Windows Messenger, XML DOC Document, XML DOC Document 3.0

The security level is set to Medium-high, so I have to click and allow the
activeX controls.

Thanks!

Can you view this production without a similar error?:

That would imply that your browser is set up for viewing productions (at
least those internet based).

There is a setting in IE7 that could be the issue- go to Tools->Options...
Advanced tab, Security section. You might need the "Allow active content to
run in files on My Computer" checked. Try checking it if it is not already
and try to view your presentation.

I found the option and checked it, the I restarted IE7, but the problem
persisted. In paralel I took one of the slides and played with it. It turnes
out that the source of the problem lies withing the following JS function
(from the file script.js):

function Redirect( frmId )
{
var str=document.location.hash,idx=str.indexOf('#'), sId=GetSldId()
if(idx>=0) str=str.substr(1);
if( window.name != frmId && ( sId != str) ) {
obj = GetObj("Main-File")
window.location.href=obj.href+"#"+sId
return 1
}
return 0
}

I don't realy know what to do with this information, but it might give some
hint?

Commenting out one line within the function solves the problem. I don't even
know what this line should do, I didn't find any place that the function is
called. Could this be related to animations somehow?

Thanks a lot for all your help!!!

function Redirect( frmId )
{
var str=document.location.hash,idx=str.indexOf('#'), sId=GetSldId()
if(idx>=0) str=str.substr(1);
if( window.name != frmId && ( sId != str) ) {
obj = GetObj("Main-File")

/* window.location.href=obj.href+"#"+sId */ <----- The commented out line
return 1
}
return 0

Not sure what that routine is used for or when.
