opening website file closes Publisher

[earthfae]

Please help!

I am using Publisher 2003 to create a website for a university organization
(I've never used Publisher for a website before). In the early stages of
creating it, the file opening fine in the program, but as of late any attempt
to open the file shuts down Publisher. It is forcing me to use safe mode,
which doesn't allow me to preview the web page.

I thought this may be because the file is too large, but it is only 873 KB.
I have downloaded all current service packs, compressed images, created other
copies of the file without any images, and repaired the program using the
installation disk, but this problem persists.

Has anyone encountered this problem and knows how to fix it? I prefer to use
Publisher because I have not created a website before, but i don't know if
safe mode will allow me to publish it to the web.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

If you are only able to open the file in safe mode, that would suggest a
problem with a video or print driver. Try updating or reinstalling the
drivers. Also, you might want to do a Save As a new name while you are in
safe mode. And try running the Design Checker under Tools, to see if that
can identify something wrong with your publication.
