That's really odd.
When you tell a browser to open a file instead of downloading it, it will
still have to download it to its own cache before it can open. Firefox has
its OWN cache area for most of what is downloaded through it. If you
download this file using Firefox, it shouldn't be looking in your Temporary
Internet Files folder (which is normally used by IE) unless it extracts
something to that area (which is entirely possible since PP is also a MS
product). However, if there is already a file there using the same exact
name, it will try to use that instead. This has me thinking that you may
have a corrupted version of that file sitting on your drive and it's making
the presentation fail every time (and every way) you try to play it. With
the presentation closed, bring up Internet Options (Control Panel) and use
it to clean out the Temp Internet files. Then, try downloading & running a
new copy of the presentation again.
Peace,
