TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Sounds like a memory resource issue to me. Does Word repeat this behaviour all the time? Did you try restarting your computer? You might have too many things running on your computer at once, and not enough memory for Word to handle updating the link. I would try restarting your computer. I don't think it is an issue with your file, graphics, or links. Especially if pressing F9 does nothing.
