Why doesn'yt clipart display in Word and Publisher documents

[Helen]

I installed new software and now the clip art in my MS Word and Publisher
documents won't display in normal view or print preview. You can see the
border lines of the picture, but can't display it, even by setting the order
to bring forward or bring to front. Word art won't display either.

Changing the acceleration did not solve the problem. Prior to the
installation of this scrap booking software that I installed, I was able to
view the pictures within the document. I restored my computer to an earlier
date (prior to the software installation) and the pictures appeared, when I
restored it back (because I needed to use the new scrapbooking software), I
lost the pictures again.

I'd try to update my video/graphics driver. From your description, it sounds as
though your new software has caused some sort of conflict. Go to the
manufacturer's web page of your graphics card and look around for an updated
driver.
