Post Publisher cannot open the file

Help!!!

I am using Publisher 2003. It was working in the past. It has been activated. When I create a new document, save it, close publisher then restart it, I get the above error. I've tried uninstall (using CD) and reinstall. The reinstall does not ask for activation. So, currently, I'm dead in the water. Any ideas on how to fix the problem.

I've now found a 'solution'. I was using Norton AV Corporate Edition (with Symantec AV Client). So, I wasn't able to change 'Script Blocking' (as suggested elsewhere). While trying to resolve the problem, I accidently uninstalled Norton AV. Publisher then started working. However, I didn't want to be without virus protection. So, I purchased (and installed) Norton Internet Security (which includes Norton AV). It is 2004. I now have virus protection and can also use Publisher 2003. Yeah!!!

You are welcome to send me the file to see if I can open it. If you'd like
to accept the offer, email me for an addy to send it to.
