I cannot view clip art in Publisher 2003

[Artccc]

So far I've discussed this with Microsoft tech support, had my computer
checked by a computer repair shop, uninstalled and reinstalled the software
multiple times, but I still cannot view the clip art in Publisher 2003. If I
save the file in Publisher 2000 the clip art shows up. I have the same
software installed on my laptop and have no problems viewing clip art with
Publisher 2003. I don't know what to do.

Try View > Pictures > Detailed Display.

If this fails, this is almost certainly a problem with your video driver.

By going to Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot, and
dragging the Hardware Acceleration slider down three notches, you will be
able to disable Publisher from making the calls on the video driver that
cause this problem.

If this does fix your problem, it means that the problem does indeed lie
with the video driver. You can leave your computer running at this lower
hardware acceleration, but it may cause problems with other programs. It is
a better solution to try and find a driver update for your graphics card.
Normally, the latest drivers from the video card manufacturer will do the
trick, but ATI (and recently Intel and Dell) tend to be slower in perfecting
their drivers, so some newer ATI and Intel cards to not yet have drivers
available that do not exhibit this behaviour. The solution here is to nag
ATI/Intel/Dell for better drivers.

(Please note that even if your computer is brand new, you won't necessarily
have the latest drivers)
