PowerPoint 2003 slides - background and images "dissapear"

[Sameer]

I am having a peculiar problem in PowerPoint 2003, whereby any background
formatting or images disappear from the main view of the slides. I can see
them in the outline. I can see them in Slide Show mode, but I can't see them
in the main Slide Edit mode. If I reinstall one of the service packs or run
the "Detect and Repair" procedure, it resolves the problem, until next time.
This is not isolated to one set of presentations. I can't find any help, and
can't locate a button that's been enabled or disabled to reverse this. I also
can't find anything online in terms of support. Curious if someone has seen
this.

Hi John,
Thank you for replying. If reinstalling Powerpoint resolves the problem, I'm
trying to better understand why updating the video card drivers resolves the
problem.
Thanks,
Sameer
