error code "publisher cannot load files from a different version"

yes a popular error i know. but

no i do not have norton

basically the computer crashed, i had to reinstall everything, now previously made pub's on office 2k will no longer load on publisher 2k. or on another version of publisher 2k.

i looked into the files and they do say publisher 3 embedded in the codes.

i am at a loss as to what to do, i have hundreds of files , i havent checked them all of course

Do an installer cleanup,
