This one doesn't, but I have somehow managed to find a solution (in 
fact I'm exceedingly pleased with myself about it!), which is hit 
Ctrl-F12 (or, of course, click Tools, Preferences), then go to 
Advanced, select Contents or Fonts (and maybe others - I haven't 
tried any others), then hit Enter and miraculously the picture 
appears! But as I say, I am running Vista HP. (On an Asus laptop.)
