When I copy and paste a picture in to Microsoft Word Processor, all i get is a black square. What do i do?

Don't say uncheck picture placeholder because it is already unchecked

Update:

it's just regular photos from the web. it's like a blank box when i copy & paste. this is also happening to my microsoft powerpoint.

    What is the picture supposed to be of?

    Sometimes, videos are displayed on "overlay surfaces", the content of which is not known to the operating system (and thus to copy/paste), and is only added by the video card just before it is sent to the monitor. If this is the case, you'll have to check whether the video mode can be changed, or switch to hardware that doesn't rely so much on overlays.

    Instead of copy & paste, use the Insert > Picture > From File function.
