Pub 2000 closes when wizard closed on XP Pro system

[Bill]

Gang

I am using the same Publisher 2000 that I used successfully with ME for years. Now that I installed XP Pro, when I launch Publisher 200 it opens okay, but when I close the Wizard I receive the following message

(Unsaved Publication) Microsoft Publisher: MSPUB.EXE - Application Erro
The instruction at ")x77f5310f" referenced memory at ")x00000000". The memory could not be "written"
Click on OK to terminate the program

When I click OK, Publisher 2000 closes

I tried uninstall/reinstall, updating my video card and going to the latest drivers, changed my motherboard from an old AMDk6-2/450 board to a somewhat newer Pentium III/800 board, reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling everything, but nothing seems to work

Any ideas how to solve this, short of returning to ME

Thanks

Have you looked into a printer driver?
Try Publisher in safe mode, if it works then go to the manufacturer's web site for an
updated driver.

Gang,

Mary,

That was it! -- The printer driver!

I thought I had the latest driver, but was obviously wrong. While everything else worked fine with XP Pro, Publisher 2000 closed evey time I closed the wizard; it worked fine under ME. But as soon as I updated my Canon S300 driver (as you suggested) Publisher worked beautifully!

Thanks so much for being a genious
