Pictures inserted from file are not clear

I have Publisher 2003 and use it a lot but now when I try to insert a picture
from "My Pictures" it is blurred and you can hardly see it. However, when it
prints, it is OK. This also happens if I scan a picture into Publisher.
Clipart is not affected.

View, pictures, detailed display...
If that doesn't solve the issue...
Slide the acceleration down on your adapter, control panel, display folder, settings
tab, advanced button, troubleshoot tab...
If this helps go to the manufacturer's web site of your adapter and look around for
an upgraded video driver.

I am not very clever with computers so I will try this when I can get some
help before I do something wrong! Thank you I will come back to you.

I have tried view, pictures, detailed display, it works! BUT two more
questions, it now says I have an unknown Publisher, It was a brand new 2 disk
Microsoft Publisher bought in PC World and how have the settings changed when
I didn't even know they were there?!!

Originally yes but I had a new computer a year ago and I had to re-install my
CD's. Perhaps I didn't activate it but it has been working properly up until
last week. I will re-install it and activate it and see if that works.

I'd try a detect and repair first.
