Many thanks for your comments and suggestions.

I do have Office 2003 Service Pack 1 installed.
To clarify : installing the latest Radeon drivers does not resolve the
problem.
I currently have them installed and have now successfully installed my
Philips monitor driver.
However I'm no nearer to getting my graphics visible in Publisher 2003 (they
do print)

Running on a default video driver temporarily fixes the problem, but as soon
as the PC is restarted again it autodetects and installs a Microsoft Radeon
driver which unfixes it. (The video scrolling has a ripply effect on the
default driver so it's not terribly usable anyway)

Any other suggestions will be gratefully received.
