Thanks for the advice XtremeMaC. I will try re-installing office then if that doesn't work I will try putting on the original drivers that came with my graphics card.

Possibly - I do have a AGP 4x motherboard. I can play games fine - I can easily play the likes of Doom 3 and Half Life 2 with no problems. Its just MS Word that it has trouble on. If I use powerpoint though to insert a picture or some clipart it displays the image fine!! I really don't understand how the same image won't display in Word but will display in Powerpoint! Very weird

There is meant to be an image inside the black box - with my new graphics card it doesn't show the image unless I turn the hardware acceleration off.

Basically because it was cheap! Seemed like a good spec and was a vast improvement on my old graphics card (or so I thought! lol!). Put it this way I can now play Doom 3 finally without any "jerking".

I recently purhcased a new ATI Sapphire 256MB 9550 graphics card to replace my 64MB Nvidia card. Ever since I installed this new graphics card I am having trouble viewing graphics in Word. I don't think its a problem with Word as it works great when displaying graphics in Word with my old Nvidia card. I have tried re-installing my drivers with the latest ATI drivers directly from the ATI website and after many reboots I still have the problem. I have attached an image to this post so you can see the problem. Graphics will only display ok with this card if I muck about the hardware acceleration settings in display properties - you need to disable all graphics acceleration to the card (this was an answer from a Microsoft forum with other users having the same problem!). Any help or ideas on this would be much appreciated. (Running: Windows XP SP2, MS Office XP SP3).
