If you change

 to

\includegraphics[width=0.75in,height=1.5in]{present}

does it still work ?

Generally best to leave pdflatex to choose the best format (if >1) and not 
specify anyway. (This also allows one to have picture.gif and your own 
locally created picture.png in the same directory, and not worry about 
extensions.)
