Publisher 2 won't install

[Pauline]

Version 2 will not install on my laptop. Get "Bootstrp
caused an error in KRNL386.exe".
Any help out there. I love the old program and want to use
it on my laptop.

You should love the old program. Publisher 2.0 was one of the great
versions. Publisher 97 is the next great practical functional version with
Merge added. Publisher 2003 to be released next month is the next best
version after Publisher 97, but there is still no way I would remove
Publisher 97. If you find a second hand copy of Publisher 97, I would
highly recommend you buy it. Publisher 97 runs perfectly on all versions
of Windows including XP.

Sorry, cannot help you with your problem, I cannot remember for the life of
me what the fix was. I doubt Publisher 2.0 is still in the MS Knowledge
Base.

There is an article in the Knowledge Base that address this error
Windows Err Msg: Cannot Find KRNLxxx.EXE
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;70467
Have you tried to install in safe mode? Could be a device driver is causing this
error.
