images don't show up in microsoft office 2003?

[wcs8]

Has anyone figured out a way to have images show up in Word 2003 since the
July 2004 postings?? In my document I don't have "Picture Placeholders"
checked but I still don't have the images showing up consistently. When I
have an image viewable scrolling up or down past the image will cause that
portion of the image to vanish. Resizing the document is the only way for the
image to reappear.

This is probably a problem with your system's display drivers not refreshing
the screen properly and may have nothing to do with Word as such.

I do have the same problem with word2003 after updating xp sp2 (and this is
a common problem). I think it is sad, that Microsoft has done nothing to
correct this (only happens in word 2003) or to inform its customers of this
serious problem and its remedy. At least they could react to this problem
and say "update your drivers to make our update work..."

wcs8,
You can only solve this at the moment by altering the HArdware Acceleration
in Display Properties, until Direct X is no longer running, this will allow
pictures to be displayed ok. Will need to alter back again though if you
want to play games etc.
