Transition Off; Bullets Missing

Hello! I'm creating a site for a group within our intranet. So, therefore I'm unable to give you a link to show you the site. I'm using the nivo-slider to transition 3 images with captions and no links. I'm using the default theme.

It worked fine when testing on my desktop. I've now sent the files to our person to put on the server (IIS) and the following things have occurred:

The fade effect is not working - it's just going from one image to the next without any transition
The image is transitioning and then the captions are transitioning about a quarter second later
The bullets won't show up
The arrows are there but do not fade in and out upon rollover - they're just always there.

Since the site is on an intranet server and does not have access to the internet, I made sure the google jquery file was in it's own file.

I should add that this is happening only with IE9. It works fine with FF and Safari, but as this is an intranet, and a government organization, 99.9% of the people will view this using IE. Thanks for your help!

Here is my HTML: Within Head: `

<link rel="stylesheet" href="slider/themes/default/default.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script src="slider/jquery171.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="slider/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

` Within body: `

<div class="slider-wrapper theme-default">
<div id="slider" class="nivoSlider">
<img src="images/slider01.jpg" alt="Arizona Wetland, Hoover Dam, Antietam National Battlefield, and LCR Diversity Days Poster" title="Arizona Wetland, Hoover Dam, Antietam National Battlefield, and LCR Diversity Days Poster" data-transition="fade" />
<img src="images/slider02.jpg" alt="Quartermaster Depot, Roosevelt Dam, Desert Tortoise, and Great Basin Wetland Book Cover" title="Quartermaster Depot, Roosevelt Dam, Desert Tortoise, and Great Basin Wetland Book Cover" data-transition="fade" />
<img src="images/slider03.jpg" alt="Western Bat Logo, DOI SAIGE Diversity Poster, Native American Poster, and Flat Tail Horn Lizard" title="Western Bat Logo, DOI SAIGE Diversity Poster, Native American Poster, and Flat Tail Horn Lizard" data-transition="fade" />
</div>
</div><!--END image slider-->
<!--START script for image slider-->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function() {
$('#slider').nivoSlider();
});
