Pictures don't display in Word. "Picture placeholders" off

[a.bazire]

In a Word document with pictures, the pictures are not displayed on the
monitor. I am using Print Layout View and "Picture Placeholders" is off. If I
change the size of the picture, or otherwise alters it, it becomes visible.
If I scroll it off the visible page then back it has disappeared. There are
no visible picture place holders, frame etc. The same is true of clipart.

Try reducing the hardware acceleration setting in Start | Control
Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced | Troubleshooting. If this
fixes the problem, then you might want to check the website of
the manufacturer of your video card/graphics adapter to see if
there is an updated driver available.

Fixed the problem. Thanks.
Now have to try and find a new driver as other issues have arisen as a
consequence!
