A black bar appears when you type in MS Word

Solution:
If a black bar obscures the line on which you are typing, your Desktop is set to 16-color mode, which Word does not support. Right-click an open spot on your Desktop, click Properties, choose the Settings tab in the resulting dialog box, and try to select a higher color mode (at least 256) in the Color drop-down menu (Color Quality in WinXP).

If no other color options are available, check your video card manufacturer's Web site for the latest display driver and try again.
