Publisher 2007 wizard problem

[GWJ]

I have been using Publisher 2007 since it has been out and just recently
have had a error message that comes up each time I open it. This just seemed
to begin after I installed System Pack 1 for Vista Home Premium. The error
message is: "Publisher cannot run this wizard. This feature is not available.
To make this feature available, run Setup again, click "Add or Remove
Features" and change the feature to "Run from My Computer".

I have done this. I have uninstalled Publisher and still get the same
message after installation. After I re-installed it, it now opens up to a
blank template, with this error message. Before I uninstalled it, it opened
to the many different options you have, with the error message.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do your other Office products work okay?

When this error appeared in Publisher 2003, running the CleanUp utility was the
solution. Do you have your product number? I don't know if the utility will
work but it is worth a try.

Microsoft recommended not using the Cleanup Utility for Office 2007 products.
But I went ahead and did another uninstall/install and right now it is
working like it should. It's those little "green men" that like to run around
inside ones computer and mess things up! Thanks for your suggestion.

Hello GWJ, I've used the utility on 2007 Beta and it worked just fine. It's a
judgment thing. I'm glad all is working for you now. Thanks for your post, it is
appreciated.
