Well, starting with basics, have you used Ctrl + L to refresh the display? Frame is notorious for being in the dark ages and not doing a screen refresh automatically. You could also check the Run-Around properties of various objects in the frames (although that affects text more than graphics), because anything other than Don't Run Around can cause bizarre behaviour of nearby objects. A third possibility is that you have turned off graphics display with an inadvertent keyboard shortcut. Check View > Options > Graphics and make sure it's selected.
