Re: Office does not start up at all

I would try the following in this order:
- http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303677
- creating another user account and trying to run it again
- doing a drag/drop install (to the new account) and trying again
- attempt to launch Office apps in safe mode
(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393)

In
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office/browse_thread/thread/8f540f91c6868696/f5867de908b6d7a5?lnk=gst&q=haxies&rnum=4,
the problem turned out to be Unsanity Haxies.

Please do reply if any of the above steps work along w/which one did
the trick or if none do any good.

Just to clarify, the Office installer itself will not run, among the
other Microsoft applications on the DVD. It's as if every single
Office related application has decided that they will not open up
anymore. All of my other applications are not affected.

Hi Jeff -

Did you run Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions following the
installation?

Do you have the MS Office Test Drive installed on the MBP? That has to be
uninstalled using the Remove Office utility, *not* simply dragged to the
Trash. You should find Remove Office in the User:Applications: MS Office
2004:Additional Tools:Remove Office folder.

Which version of OS X are you running?

Have you applied the Office 11.3 updater?

It's appropriate that *none* of the DVD content will run from the DVD.

On my Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, I can not load Office recently. When I
open Word, for example, the the icon bounces once, then disappears. No
error message or anything, it just disappears. My first instinct was
to just reinstall it, however the weird thing is that even the office
on my CD doesn't work! In fact, not only does Word not work, but every
single Office related application, such as the uninstaller on the CD
does not work!

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
