Publisher 2000 suddenly refuses to recognize my Publisher files. This
happened
just after installing seven (7) updates from Office Update, a slew of Windows
updates, and installing IE7). Out of dozens of files, it will open exactly
one;
the rest pop up a little box that says it cannot open the file because it is
not
a Publisher file. All end in ".pub", so I have not done something dumb like
inadvertently going to the html files (these Publisher files are the source
files for a large commercial website).

We happened to have an old laptop around here still running IE6 and which has
not had those most recent seven Office 2000 or Windows updates, and it opens
all
the files just fine. Something in these recent updates or in IE7 must be
causing the problem. This is happening in four different machines exactly the
same way.

This is a disaster of epic proportions since I am now blocked from updating
300
pages of web content. I have multiple backups, and they are all behaving the
same. Have there been any reports of this problem? Can one of you kind MVPs
call your contacts and ask what might be going on?

Past experience has taught me not to go poking around willy nilly in cases
like
this; it often makes matters worse. System Restore was turned off on this
particular machine (not sure about the others). But I have no idea which
update
caused the problem anyway, so fixing it is problematic. This seems pretty
clearly to be a problem of Microsoft's making...HELP, please!

This is incredibly frustrating, and more disgusting than usual.
