Pictures aren't showing up in Office Applications...???

[DRUAngell]

Whenever I add pictures into any of my Office applications (Excel, Word,
Publisher, etc.) they're not showing up for me in the normal view. At least
not about 99% of the time.

Take a look at this screen shot: www.angelleye.com/temp/screenShot.gif

That's actually a table laid out with a picture of a bar graph in each of
those boxes. Thing is, the pictures won't show up on the actual Document.
When I do print preview they do show up:

And when I print they print out fine. It sure makes it a nice pain, though,
trying to edit these documents when I can't actually see what's going on
unless I go into Print Preview mode.

Every once in awhile when I scroll in the document the pictures will show up
for a minute. But they go away again not long after that.

I'm running Office 2003 on XP Pro SP2 machine. Everything is 100%
up-to-date. Any information on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

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.

Well, that seems to be the issue. I tried one step at a time until I got to
about the 3rd to last notch and then the pictures show up fine in Word no
matter how much I scroll around.

That's just a little aggrivating. Hopefully Toshiba has released some
updated drivers. Damn manufacturer's!
