Pub2000 won't open

[Hamm]

When trying to open Pub 2000 everything is greyed out, can't close, have to shut down through task manager. I'm runnung Windows XP and Office 2000. Have tryed uninstall/reinstall and searched everywhere I can think of. Works at home just fine with the same basic setup.

When I go to start, microsoft publisher I get the same thing. Then I did a search for .pub and all of the different templates come up and I can get into them from there. Do I have this set up wrong??

Do you have Norton? Disable script blocking and maybe the Office Plug-in's as well.

What happens if you start your computer in SAFE mode and try the same
routine?

Yes it works then. I tryed disabling script blocking and nothing changed. I'm not sure where the office plug-ins are? What about trying in safe mode, what will that tell me?

 

[Hamm]

That is correct. I tryed disabeling script blocking and Office plugins in Norton, nothing.

So if you double-click a .pub it opens properly and you can work from that
point on?

(Just trying to understand everything.)
