Default clip art

I have Windows XP (512 mb of ram) and have upgraded to Office 2003. When I try to insert clip art, it freezes up. This is in any of the office programs - publisher, power point, or word. I have cleared the cache and temp files. On the rare occasion that it works, it is extremely slow. Please help.

Open Clip Organizer | Go to Tools | Click Compact

You can launch Clip Organizer by clicking the link in the Task Pane or Start
| Microsoft Office | Office Tools.

You might want to update your graphics driver. Go to the manufacturer's web page and
look around for a newer driver.
