I am havine a problem with pictures & drawings not showing up on the screen in Word 2002. They print fine, but I cannot see them, and it is really anoying. When I resize the photo/drawing in question, it will show up, but then when I scroll away from it, and back again, it is gone.

I have never had this problem using word before, and it is quite perplexing.

Any help will be most appriciated....

Me too. Thought it might be the graphics card at one stage (Radeon 9600), but all other apps work fine.

Check the easy stuff first. In Word, select Tools-Options and on the View tab, make sure Drawings is checked and Picture Placeholders is UNchecked.

If that doesn't work, you may have a memory shortage, that is, your memory has been maxxed by other things, or you don't have enough to display the pictures. What happens if you load this document on a fresh reboot?

I tried all that. I found a solution this morning and it worked.

Right click on the desktop
Choose "properties"
Click on the "settings" tab
Click on the "advanced" button
Click on the "troubleshoot" tab
Move the slider to the left until you read "Disable all Direct Draw & Direct 3D Accelerations......"

Thanks sawedoff but its definitely not the picture placeholders thing. I think it might well be a memory problem as images are displayed sometimes. I have over 700Mb though. I have to say that CJBucko's trick works for me also, even though it sounds counter intuitive...
To me anyway,

CJBucko -

Your instructions worked PERFECTLY! Thanks for the "411" on this annoying issue.
