"Publisher cannot complete the operation"

Hello.

I posted this in another discussion and was advised that this group would be
a better place to ask the following question. So Apologies for cross posting.

I'm having a problem using the wizard in Publisher 2000
"Publisher cannot complete the operation"

I have Windows XP Home SP3
MS Office 2000 Professional
512MB RAM
35GB Free space on HDD

This has only started after Windows Service pack 3 was installed.
It was ok with Windows XP SP1 and Windows XP SP2

I even check for Ms Office 2000 updates once a month, just installed the
latest updates yesterday in the hope that it might fix the problem. It
didn't.

Once I open Publisher and then use the wizard to select any of the cards,
Busines or greeting or letter templates to name a few. I get the following
error mesage
"Publisher cannot complete the operation".

This is happening in all my accounts including Administrator, yet I've never
had this problem before in any of the accounts ltd or admin.

I've tried the detect and repair feature and even the reinstall option but
neither have fixed this problem.

Would like your advice.

Thank you.
