I don't know, I have no experience with 97. Doesn't look like you are doing
anything incorrectly from your explanation. But I'd say you want to find out
if you can actually run a web page properly. You should have a folder on
your PC (in My Documents) for saving the web site to. Do the save as web and
save the web site to your folder.
Then browse to that folder in Windows Explorer and double-click and
index.html file.
It should automatically launch in the browser. Then see if you display the
page properly and can navigate thru all the pages. This way you are testing
the real html files and not temp files.
If the page will open but not display images I'd suspect the issue lies in
the browser settings.
If the page opens in it's entirety than I don't know. Other than don't use
preview.

When I hit the "preview web site" button, even it's own pictures & graphics
don't show In IE6.  Text shows ok. Publisher created a folder named pub in
the C:\windows\temp folder and put the files in there.
