Kernal Panics, Office, and Panther

[David True]

Having trouble since installing 10.3.2 with Kernal Panics, and these may be
related to one of the Office components.

Anyone notice anything similar?

Thoughts of what to do? Where to further research?

Thanks

I haven't heard of any interaction with Office (the one component that
can think of that *could* be involved is the Office Notifications
daemon, you can turn Office Notifications off in Entourage).

Are you doing an archive and install to remove components of jaguar?

Well, I've never had any Office-related KP with any version of the
system or Office.

Are the system and Office up to date ??

Not sure what your mean in last sentence. When installing Panther is simply
loaded of the disks and allowed the installer to update Jaguar.

Please explain.

Panther is not an update of Jaguar - it's a wholesale replacement.

From the file "Read Before You Install" on the Panther install disk 1:

Ok-- is that action you indicate (... Select Archive and Install to save
your existing system files, user accounts and their home folders, and your
existing network settings) the default? Can't recall how I installed it,
but whatever the default is probably what I did.

And if not the default, and I chose a different option (what are those
options?), have I risked damage to my system? If so, what to do to repair?

I was just curious how you installed - I typically install into a blank
disk partition, so I know there's nothing to interfere with the new
installation. I expect if you used the defaults that Panther installed
just fine.

Use Remove Office (it's on the Office install CD) to totally remove all
office files, and re-install. I've done exactly this in the past when
Word was behaving incorrectly and it fixed it.

Also make sure to install any updates to Office from the Mactopia site.
