Office Crashes on MacBook

[john.r.napoli]

Hello,

I have a new Macbook with 1 GB RAM. After having the computer runnign a
few hours, Office (and any other Power PC Apps) crash on launch. I have
not found this error anywhere on the internet. I am getting tired of
rebooting this system multiple times a day. Anyone have ideas?

Thanks,
John

Hi John:

Sorry about this, but we haven't seen this one in here either!

It's gotta be either strange disk permissions, or something
thermally-related.

Some random thoughts: Who installed the system? How many users on it?
Which one are you using? Have you repaired disk permissions? Have you
applied all the service releases up to the latest?

Cheers

John,

Thanks for the reply. I am up to 10.4.7 on the Mac. I need to check
permissions tonight. I installed the OS from the DVD, including X11 and
Dev environment . I also installed boot camp with windows on a 10 GB
partition. I am the only user on it. I have been having htis problem
since I bought it in August for the apple developer conference. Could
not find MS people among the masses to ask. I also upgraded to 1 GB ram
from the stock 512 which did not help. I will check permissions when I
get home tonight.

John,

I found the solution! First permissions were fine on the computer.

The problem was ... (drumroll please) .....

Unsanity Haxies!

I had Fruitmenu and Windowshade X. They have a known issue with
Rosetta. After these were uninstalled, everything worked fine.

Thanks for the help,

John
