display of embedded graphics lags, sometimes they will not display
The problem started when we got a new batch of Dell Optiplex GX280s here
last summer. When opening a Word document, the display of embedded graphics lags, sometimes they will not display at all. Text is not affected. It is not tied to a specific document. When the problem appears, all documents behave the same way. Ive done some troubleshooting on it myself but have come up empty. The problem disappears when opening documents after starting Word from the Run box using the /a switch, so I thought it might be Macro related. However, I ran all the procedures in the €śsupport.dot€ť tool from Microsoft and the problem appeared consistently no matter what I deleted, renamed, or changed. We thought for a while that it was related to Acrobat, but removing Acrobat from the computer only makes the problem disappear temporarily. Yesterday after I applied Office 2003 Service Pack 2 to my machine, the problem went away for a few hours, but returned after I closed Word and Outlook (I use Word for my email editor) and restarted them. |

Try reducing the hardware acceleration setting in Start Settings Control
Panel Display Settings Advanced Troubleshooting. If this fixes the problem, then check with Dell or at the website of the video card manufacturer to see if there is an updated driver. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. kl wrote: The problem started when we got a new batch of Dell Optiplex GX280's here last summer.
