I'm having problems with pictures within Word. I have
received a number of emails with Word attachments, which
contain pictures. When the document is opened the picture
on the screen is fine. However, when I scroll the picture
are erased from the screen and the pictures further now
the page are not shown. But I can get them back by using
the Task Pane and the pictures on the screen reappear.
But scroll again and they disappear. Task Pane, reappear.

Any ideas please? Thanks

Poor graphics engine. Word is demanding of graphics and if you have an
integrated graphics chip on the motherboard, it is probably too feeble to
keep up the screen refresh when you scroll along. Other than checking to see
if you have the latest graphics drivers, there's little you can do other
than upgrade your graphics card.

I have an ATI 9600xt which allows me to play Far Cry and
Half Life 2 on High settings, so I'm pretty sure it can't
be that. But I will see if there are newer drivers.

Cheers for now

If there is no driver update - and I agree with Terry's diagnosis - try
reducing the graphics hardware acceleration a notch or two.

i scroll. returns if i minimize then maximize using task bar button. how do
i slow down accelleration? this is my work computer. no added games .

Right-click on your Desktop and select Properties. Choose Settings, Tab,
Click on Advanced and then choose the Troubleshooting tab. Lowering by two
notched usually resolves the problem. Check on the Dell site to make sure
that you have the latest graphics driver available. If that doesn't clear
the problem, report this to Dell support.

solved! thank you for reply! i updated driver thru dell's site. still had

It disables the hardware acceleration for DirectDraw and Direct3D, which
means that those function will only be handled by software. This is unlikely
to be a problem unless you are a heavy games player.

i don't know what these are or what they do: DirectDraw and Direct3D

It means that if any DirectDraw or Direct3D functions are used, instead of
the hardware acceleration in the graphics processor unit (GPU) handling the
process, it is provided by Windows and the computer's central processor unit
(CPU) - thus increasing the load on the CPU. This will slow down the
DirectDraw and Direct3D display and if it coincides with other processor
intensive activities, they will slow down too. Dell should fix the problem
with a new driver.

Leonard,

Intel has confirmed that it is a problem with their driver for the
82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family of display adapters. They say
that they will address the problem in a new release of the driver.

If you wouldn't mind emailing me the service tag for your PC, I can
demonstrate clearly to Dell that the problem is occurring on many PCs.
Reducing the graphics acceleration a level below that which DirectX
uses is a temporary workaround.

Thanks for your help!



Ann

Ann

Thanks for the efforts you have put in on this. It is an achievement to get
anyone to admit their problem!

Although we only have minimal sales of Dells at work (we standardise on
supplying HP business equipment to our customers), if we get any showing
those symptoms, I'll email you the service tags.

thank you ann. we have 5 new dells. 4700 models. 4 purchased about 3 mos
ago, & 1 1 month ago. i will forward service tags for all 5 as soon as
possible. i'm not always in the office. as previously stated, i followed
direction & went onto dell's site to update driver for the intel, but i
guess we'll need a newer one.

ann, i have checked 3 of the 5 systems. they have same service tag. i assume
the others will be the same. # 69HPT51. my display adapter is same as stated
below. the others show display adapter as: 82915G. possibly mine is
different since i had updated the driver thru dell's site(?).

I thought the service tag for each machine was unique.

thank you all. update: i wrote to dell, who directed me to a link, to,
again, update the display driver. the update was 7-2004. the update i first
completed had a higher file # which leads me to believe my first update was
a newer driver. either way, problem still not solved! other than the work
around method. i wrote to dell advising same. waiting for reply.

i secured the service tags of 3 machines from dell info on each hard drive.
the 4th was from the label on the case.
i too thought each machine would have a seperate service tag #. 4 were
purchased at one time about 3 months ago, & the 5th was purchased later. all
same tags!

should i just wait for intel to provide a new driver? should i switch back
to first updated driver? if so, how?

i wrote to dell.one rep agreed that i'd have to wait for intel to provide an

Thank you for contacting Dell Technical Support.

I understand that you want to know about the disappearing pictures

I have checked the same in my system and in other systems but this is

It is a normal feature of this application."

i disagree with dell. this does not happen on my old windows 98. & the

update: i tried scrolling pages in microsoft word, on my home dell, 4600
(april 2004 purchase). no problem scrolling. i guess dell doesn't want to
replace the video card, & most notable is the quote by dell rep:
" I have checked the same in my system and in other systems but this is
quite normal so need not call it a problem...."

i will call dell from work & i'll advise this group of future status.

possibly, from here, could someone answer my question i posed to dell?

if the video card was changed to a different brand, would it stop the
disappearing pictures problem?

My guess would be YES. I certainly don't have the problem you are seeing
using a Radeon 5500SE. But knowing how often computers have made me look
stupid, I wouldn't guarantee it. The Dell guy is definitely waffling though.

Yes: these are three terms are for the same item. It does looks as though
there are many other users sharing this problem. Don't get put off by the
twit that says he doesn't see this with WordPerfect though. WP works
completely differently than Word, so comparing an error on one with the
other is totally irrelevant. Word is very demanding of both the graphics and
printer drivers: if either has the slightest bug, you can be pretty sure
that Word will be affected long before other applications are affected.

I would also guess that comparing your problems with my Radeon 5500 are
irrelevant too because it looks like most of these users have Dell with
PCI-E buses; so it may be a conflict with the driver on particular
motherboards.

If there is no driver update - and I agree with Terry's diagnosis - try
reducing the graphics hardware acceleration a notch or two.

Poor graphics engine. Word is demanding of graphics and if you have
an integrated graphics chip on the motherboard, it is probably too
feeble to keep up the screen refresh when you scroll along. Other
than checking to see if you have the latest graphics drivers,
there's little you can do other than upgrade your graphics card.

I'm having problems with pictures within Word. I have
received a number of emails with Word attachments, which
contain pictures. When the document is opened the picture
on the screen is fine. However, when I scroll the picture
are erased from the screen and the pictures further now
the page are not shown. But I can get them back by using
the Task Pane and the pictures on the screen reappear.
But scroll again and they disappear. Task Pane, reappear.

Any ideas please? Thanks

Thanks for letting us know that Intel have patched the bug.
