Help - Publisher 2003 keeps crashing

[Minstrel80232]

Hi Everybody.

I'm new to this group and need your help please. I just bought Microsoft
Publisher 2003 (OEM) and installed it on my computer. I am running a Pentium
1.7ghz with 512MB and 2 - 36GB Hard Drives.(Ultra wide SCSI II) I have AVG
as my anti-virus and am using windows XP firewall.

My problem is everytine I open Publisher, it crashes, and I get an error
message saying its sorry it has encounted a prroblem and must close. I have
all of my updates installed and up to date. So what's the problem? Why does
Publisher keep crashing?

Microsoft won't help me cus its OEM. So can anybody help me please? I'm
beyond frustrated.

Thanks,
