Access 2007 start page: featured online templates incorrectly displayed

[Dale]

Hello
I'm running Vista 64bit with 8G ram dual processor AMD 6000+
I've installed and uninstalled office 2007/SP1 to fix an issue with the
start page in Access 2007.
On the page titled Getting started with Microsoft Office Access, the
templates appearing under "featured online templates" are only visible as
truncated text without the associated icon i.e.

al....

Still able to download the template, just the display is incorrect.
All other templates appear to behave normally.

The box at the bottom of the screen is somewhat greyed out however the links
work.
Not sure how to fix this...clean install?

Thanks

I don't know if this is helpful, but I'm also running Vista64 with 8GB ram,
Access 2007SP1, and don't have this problem. I tried shrinking the window
size and the icons all wrap smoothly, without any of the artifacts you
described. I don't know if it's still true, but Access used to be one of the
more demanding apps for video drivers, showing off flaws that weren't seen
in other apps. Maybe see if there's an updated driver for your graphics
card?

Thanks Paul
I wish I could say that fixed the problem, the most recent drivers are
installed and I have a graphics index of 5.9 and a gaming graphics of 5.6
(if this is even relative). The other templates with the exception of this
one group all display as expected. Sigh...it doesn't affect the program
performance...it just 'bugs' me!!...I thought perhaps there was a web
control that hadn't loaded properly or something. Might do a clean install
Vista and Office...see if that corrects it.
