I had Publisher on my notebook, which I dumped, so I moved it to my
desktop. When I try to print a business card, I get

This program has produced an illegal operation and will be shut down

The 3DFX tells me it's a video driver issue. Specifially the Voodoo3 card.
You have an outdated driver.

Office programs that have a Voodoo3 driver installed stop responding (hang)
and you recieve error messages

The only thing that concerns me is the fact that you have Win 98 but not SE.
Voodoo no longer exists. They were bought out by someone several years ago.
I know there are third party drivers available for the Voodoo3 card because
that's what I have in this system. (Nice graphics card at the time - need a
better one now.) It's going to take some searching. Start with the site
recommended on the MS page and take it from there. Because Publisher is kind
of picky oabout video drivers, you may need to play around a bit with them.
I had some goofy problems with Pub 2002 and it turned out it was a video
driver issue. Updated it and all is fine. Continued that way into Pub 2003
too.
