Windows installer & language settings appear everytime Pub opens

[hhayes]

I've been using Pub 2007 for almost 2 years, but beginning a while ago
everytime I open Pub i have the longest delays. First a windows installer
window pops up...then a language MUI window. It is the longest process to
get a doc opened. Same happens when I try to open the picture editor. So
frustrating!

Have you installed the Service Pack?

I ran the diagnostic and it said no problems were found.

Any other suggestions? I read the description of the service pack, but
didn't see a link to install it.
Thanks!

Actually I just tried to install the Service Pack and it said it wouldn't
support any programs I was running. I'm running 2000 XP Home Edition with the
Pub 2007 I downloaded from the Microsoft site in Nov. 06. Help if you can!

Many thanks!
