Publisher 2000

[DAPointer]

First, a comment. Microsoft is quite unresponsive to the
needs of its customers. I hate Windows in all its
versions, especially XP. Each is worse than the last.
My current problem is that Publisher 2000 doesn't work
with my XP and there is no Microsoft human to whom to go
to find a solution. It comes up with the catalog and
when I try to use it or close it, the "send us your
weary, your disenfranchised, your problems and we'll
solve them" box which is obviously pap for the masses.
Anyone out there had any problems running Publisher 2000
on XP? Thanks.

First a comment. Microsoft cannot and does not have control over all hardware or hardware drivers which cause untold problems at times. Secondly, XP is the greatest version of Windows ever released and the most trouble free. Suggest you run XP in Classic Mode if you don't like XP mode, as I do. You can of course switch to Linux - be my guest.

Have you installed a printer driver, as that is more than likely your issue. The issue you describe is unknown and that is what makes it difficult to help your better. However, in saying that I can almost categorically state that if you install a common quality printer driver like one of the current Kyocera laser printer drivers or Canon inkjet drivers your problems will be over.
Printer drivers are paramount to the operation of all versions of Publisher.

Did you install a printer driver yet?

Since when did Microsoft employ or engage 'humans' with anything to do with product support?
