Hi,
I just installed a fresh copy of Office 2008 and I'm experiencing very slow startup times for all office 2008 applications across the board. And I'm not talking just slow, I'm talking very slow: about 5 tot 10 minutes for Entourage and Word.
During startup my system resources are through the roof. The activity manager reports 90% resources taken up by Entourage at boot time.
I'm running it on a Leopard Mac Book Pro with a 2.4 Ghz intel chip and 4GB of ram. With those specs nothing should run this slow...
When it does finally start (no errors, no problems reported) it runs smooth without a problem.
Can anyone please help? I've been going insane trying to solve this.
Many thanks.
Dwight
Hmmmm, that IS slow. It definitely starts slower than 2004 (odd being
that it is Intel "optimised") but not that slow.
I wonder though, your problem sounds very similar to a problem I am
having. I too have a MBP (17") with the 2.4GHz SR processor and 4GB
RAM - basically sounds like what you have. Certain apps will cause
the system resources to max out - both processors, and almost all my
RAM. It is not uncommon for my system to be sitting idol with one or
two apps open and 3.8GB or RAM being used. I've read reports of some
"known" problems with the OSX kernel with some apps causing huge
amounts of RAM to be wired. Not sure if it is related to your
problem. Just a question, are you running VMware or Parallels in the
background when you are trying to load the office apps?
