Publisher 2000 will not open.

After upgrading from 98ser2 to XP Home, on
re-istalling my Office 2000 progs, all went on ok, but
not Publisher. It sits and is greyed out. I have to Con
Alt Del to get rid of it. I had Norton 2003 disabled when
I loaded it on.
I can open my Pub files already saved on my HD, from pre-
upgrade. They seem fine, although I have not tried to do
any work with them yet.

Anyone had this?

Publisher was on Disk 2 when it was with Office 2000. Did you install Disk 2? What
version is opening the Publisher files?

Thanks for the info Mary. I did install CD2, as I have
done a few times before to solve a problem in the last
resort. Pubisher 2000 SR-1 is opening my existing files.
I once downloaded an Office undate from the MS Office
site and lost my Java applets on my entire suit of help
menues in Office, so I got things back to how I liked it
before that. That is how come I'm on an oldish version.
My clipart files are working ok from that CD, but I'll
try your advice and see what happens. I'll leave a note
here if I get lucky with it. Thanks again.
