MSPUB.exe generates system errors

[kevin]

I attempt to launch a Publisher documnent and it gives an error "MSPUB.exe has generated errors and will shut down". What would cause this? I am running Windows 2000 sp4 and Office 2000 Professional sp3????

It's also possible that disabling your virus scanner
before opening the program may help.
