Viewing text box fill colors on screen pub pro 2003

[Dan]

using pub pro 2003 on a dell lap top, windows XP SP2. I can not get the text
box color fill to display the fill color on the screen. Prints fine when
sent to printer. Almost looks like a view property setting but I have tried
all of them.

Do not have this problem on an HP desk top same OS version, same pub version.

Any help?

This seemed logical, but did not work. At one point I was not having this
problem, something changed. I will pursure updating the video driver it is
ATI

Did it change at aroundabout the time you installed an Adobe product?

Sorry, I have not checked this message board for awhile. I did load Adobe
professional and it might have started after that, can not swear to it, but I
did reinstall publisher 2003 and the updates to it on the Microsoft website,
which didn’t work.

Was there a problem with Adobe similar to this? I have the same software on
a desktop and I'm not experiencing this. This is only occurring on the
laptop.

With some video cards and system configurations, installing Adobe
Acrobat does something to the system that causes this issue. The
solution is normally an updated video driver.
