Problem resizing vector clipart in Publisher 2000

[Peter X]

Hi all,

I'm having problems with someone's Publisher 2000. When they insert a
clip-art picture it doesn't always render 100% correctly (there tends to
be completely white areas in it) and when resizing, the mouse pointer
changes to hour-glass + paint-brush and can stay like that for quite
some time (e.g. 2 mintes).

The resized image is often not rednered correctly either, again with
white spaces in it, or sometimes completely black!

I don't know if this is happening on all images, but it is certainly
more than one.

FYI, its running on Windows ME on an eMonster 750? Which I believe has
an 750Mhz Pentium 3 and 64Mb RAM.

It sounds like a video driver problem to me, so I will be updating that
but has anyone experienced this type of problem?

I know Windows is fully patched and up to date, but as far as I know the
Office Pro installation has not been updated at all.
They do have the installation media, but they don't have a great
internet connection so is there anyway I can download the Office updates
and put them on a CD?

TIA

Peter.

Sounds like a video driver/video card issue as well as a need for more RAM.

For downloads, go to microsoft.com/downloads

It will most certainly be a video driver issue and upgrading should fix the
problems.
