Do you have Norton? Disable "script blocking" and in Norton options, misc. disable
"Office Plug-in."
Check your files to see if they are read only.
Do you get an error?

Also, did you install the same operating system version after the crash?

I am still using Windows 2000 and reinstalled the Microsoft Office disc that
came with my computer originally. I have run a repair on the disc and still I
can't get into my catalog in publisher. I don't have Norton, I have AVG virus
protection, but had McAffee before the crash.

Might check to see if the files are read only. Are you installing from Disk 2?
