Black rectangles appearing on images in Office. Help!

[robbieedmonstone]

Since last week when I create an object (rectangle, circle etc) or insert an
image (.jpg, .gif) into Word or PowerPoint, black rectangles appear on the
object and block a lot of it off. There seems to be no logical reason for how
this came about: I think it may be a bug as in PowerPoint when I view a
slideshow it is now minimised to the top left corner of the screen and can't
perform at the full screen as before.

When viewing other presentations and word documents, the rectangles appear
again, but never on any other computer. They change disproportionately to the
image or object that they are on, and only seem to appear in certain sections
of the screen. As my job is a designer, this is an increasing problem, and
doesn't happen with Photoshop or anything else, merely the Office programs.

Please help as this is the oddest thing that my laptop's ever done!

Did you perhaps "update" your graphics adapter driver recently? BTW, if
it was a "bug" many people would have the issue, so it is likely that
the problem is caused by something you have changed or installed on your PC.
