How do I get lines I have drawn to show on the screen?

[LizUMass]

I have continuously had problems seeing the objects I draw in a Publisher
document. It isn't only lines, but circles, etc. I can draw the line fine,
it shows as I am drawing it, but once I let go of the mouse it disappears.
It is still there, I can click on the line to move it or change it, but it
never shows up on my screen. It will print just fine, but I can't see it to
make the minute changes needed.

This probably is your video driver.
Slide the acceleration down on your adapter,
Control panel, display folder, settings tab, advanced button, troubleshoot tab.
If this allows you to see the lines then you should go to the manufacturer's web
site and look around for an updated driver.

I have been having this problem for quite sometime and the fixes
never work (except for decreasing hardware acceleration, which
causes problems with other apps). I have 2 PCs with different ATI
graphics cards (9600XT & X700AGP).

In my case I finally found a fix by accident. It seems that
re-installing the driver over itself (just the driver, not the other
stuff like Catalyst, etc.) solves the problem. I have no clue why
but would be interested to know if this works for anyone else.

ATI has been slow about updating their drivers. Some folks have had to roll back to
older drivers. Gamers are having the most problems.
