Problem with Publisher 2000

Hello

For a long time I had MS-Office and I was using Publisher 2000 intensively. Everything has been fine.
Recently I installed Publisher 2003 from the MS-Office 2003 suite just to test it.
But I kept Publisher 2000 to avoid having to reinstall it in case I didn't like Publisher 2003.
Subsequently, I still used Publisher 2000 few times.
After I used Publisher 2000 about ten timres, it once refused to open and showed me this message:
"Publisher is closing because of low memory or because your hard disk is full' .
So i'm at the point where I can't use Publisher 2000 anymore.
So I de-installed Office 2000 and Publisher 2003.
Because frankly...I prefer Publisher 2000.
The message still come back after a fresh re-install of Publisher 2000 only!
What can I do to get rid of this message?
Is there something I have to modify in the registries and how?
I have Windows 2000 pro-SP4, 1024M ram and PLENTY of space on my hard-disks!

Do you have Norton?

Try the cleanup utility. Be certain you have your setup disks with the product
code handy after you use the utility and re-install 2000

Hello Mary!

Thanks for your gentle help and reply but Windows installer clean-up tool is not what I'm looking for.
Textually from the MS paper:

"The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not perform the following functions:
• Remove Windows Installer
• Remove files of any programs that are installed by Windows Installer, such as Microsoft Office 2003".

Originally when I had Office 2000 installed on my computer, i just decided to install Office 2003.
During the install of Office 2003, I was offered the choice to keep or not Office 2000. I chose to KEEP Office 2000 as I needed some time to get used to Office 2003.
After few open\close cession of Publisher 2000, I was not able anymore to use Publisher 2000!
OK! To make it short...what I want to do is to "erase" everything that is related with MS-Office 2000 AND 2003.
And re-install MS-Publisher 2000 only.

Can you help me with this?
Thanks

Lucky luke

Well, Lucky, I have all sorts of versions of Office programs running on my
computer without any issues. There is an eraser tool for Office 2000 that has
been around for a while. According to the Knowledge Base it hasn't been tested
with Windows XP.

Utility to completely remove remaining Office CD1 files and registry entries

Have you tried a detect and repair with Publisher 2000? Publisher 2003 is
superior to 2000.

The Cleanup utility has worked for me in the past. I was glad it did not affect
my files.
