Default Text box border comes & goes

I have a document that has a text box that almost fills a standard page. The
text box has a border completely around it. When I open the file I see the
border, but when I scroll down the page the border is missing on the part of
the page that wasn't first seen. The border sometimes completely disappears!
If I minimize the window and then maximize it, the border reappears. What is
going on?

I am using Word 2003 (Office XP - completely updated) with Windows XP
(completely updated).

Please help!

Try reducing the hardware acceleration setting in Start | Control Panel
| Display | Advanced | Troubleshooting.

I tried your recommendation and it worked! I had to go to Display | Settings
| Advanced | Troubleshooting. I had to move the setting from full (6) down to
3 in order to keep the text border from randomly disappearing when I scroll
down the page. What will I lose by leaving the setting at 3 instead of 6? Any
idea?

Many thanks for your help. I had looked all over the Microsoft website for
information on this, but found none. I am glad you responded. I was beginning
to wonder if something was wrong with my new computer!

Graphics-intensive games probably won't play very well, but everything
else will probably work just fine.
