Are your directories set up correctly?

When gnubg creates an html file using its own images it uses the directory 
html-images, so it expects html-images to be a sub-directory of the directory 
where the export file is saved.
Files stored in  C:\Program Files\gnubg\html
Images stored in C:\Program Files\gnubg\html\html-images

When gnubg creates an html file using the GammOnLine images it uses the 
directory ..\Images, so it expects Images to be a peer directory of the 
directory where the export file is saved.
Files stored in  C:\Program Files\gnubg\html
Images stored in C:\Program Files\gnubg\Images

The capitalisation is important, though I can't remember why.

Perhaps you have some sort of confusion in your setup. 

I know the path settings can be changed, but I've always found it so 
unintuitive that I've never got it to reliably work as I expect. Perhaps it's a 
Windows/Linux thing. Perhaps you are no longer using the defaults.
