Why does Office freeze when I try to insert a clip?

[Judy]

It doesn't matter whether I am using Power point of Word, any time I try to
insert clip art Office freezes. Are my file associations bad, or is it
something else?

What version Office? Are you getting the images online? If you are, your cache maybe
full, in Internet Explorer, tools, Internet Options, delete files.
You may need an upgraded video driver, to test, slide the acceleration down on your
adapter, control panel, display folder, settings tab, advanced button, troubleshoot
tab. If this solves your issue go to the manufacturer's web page of your graphics
card and look around for a newer driver.
