Publisher 2000 Problem
Open the file in safe mode, if it works then you need to upgrade your printer driver.

Publisher 2000 Problem
Did you try opening the Publisher document in safe mode? Did it open?
The driver could be corrupt. Completely uninstall the driver and re-install the one you have on your setup disk if it was working okay previously.

Publisher 2000 Problem
I guess the part that got me was the "I did however have a few virus I had
to deal with lately". Specifically the word "few". Too many people don't keep their anti-virus current. I can't tell you how many people I've talked to about this and they proudly respond by telling me their 3/4/5 year old computer came with an anit-virus program. One woman asked if I knew that Norton was creating the viruses. Shewas paranoid beyond all belief and got pi$$y with me when I asked her why she got a computer if she was so afraid of viruses. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Ed Bennett" wrote in message ...
