Hi,

I have word 2008 and have had a problem that when I launch another
program or close another program, Word frequently crashes.  It does
not matter what the application is.  Word is fine so long as another
program does not launch or quit.

I have the same behavior on a fresh test account.
I have uninstalled office entirely, including all preference files,
and reinstalled.

The console does not give helpful information:

6/5/09 2:44:53 PM com.apple.launchd[97]
([0x0-0xdd0dd].com.microsoft.Word[1053]) Stray process with PGID equal
to this dead job: PID 4146 PPID 1 Microsoft Error

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I can post a crash log, if that would be helpful.
