I'm trying to use a Publisher template - one that came with the program. I
click on it and it begins to create the document, but freezes 75% of the way
through. My task manager says it's taking up 100% of the computer's
resources. I tried to re-install Publisher, asking it to fix what was wrong.
It didn't correct the problem. Any suggestions what I can do? Thanks.

Try in safe mode. Look into upgrading your video driver.
It is helpful to know what version Publisher you are using.

I'm using Publisher 2002. This happened once before and all I could do was
uninstall Publisher and re-install it. I did it after posting this morning
and it seems to have fixed the problem for now.

Thanks anyway.
