Perhaps we can help you out, but it would be best if you'd submit your own
new message rather than posting as a reply to another. This thread is
already intermingled with various combinations of Office (2004, 2008) & OS X
(10.5.x, 10.6.x), none of which correspond to yours. When you do, make
certain to give your exact specifications as well as your Mac system
hardware configuration... These lengthy error reports really don't help much
here but I do spot a couple of things which look out of kilter.
One concern is that despite your claim of having Office 2008 fully updated
the report indicates that it is at 12.2.3, but 12.2.4 actually is the
current level. The other is that the log indicates that your Mac has only
1GB RAM, which is barely enough to run PPT 2008 on Tiger even if absolutely
no other processes are active. That also suggests that free disk space may
be an issue - indicate how much free space you have when to post.
In the meanwhile;
1- Run PPT in a different (preferably new) User Account. Any difference?
2- Launch PPT in your regular account while holding Shift... What happens?
3- Log out, then log into your regular account while holding Shift. What
happens when you attempt to launch PPT?
Include those results along with the other requested info.
And 'Yes', I for one have been running PPT 2008 since the early Beta testing
on two separate Macs, 3 different editions of OS X without any such
problems. Hopefully, we can get you in the same situation
