If the link you are using to start the presentation is the one called 
"Inciar PowerPoint" with the animated video camera icon, it starts a 
javascript program.  Does your browser have javascript enabled?

You don't indicated with browser you are using but if it is Firefox, you 
might also enter  "about:plugins" to see what plugins are available. I 
can see the presentation and I show

    File name: libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r68

Installed.
