Official Checksum

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

Several days ago my wife went out and purchased the new Office 2008 which I can't wait to try. My whole purpose for buying it when she did was so that I could have it with me when I took the business trip I am currently on.

So I thought I'd be smart and I had her create an image of the disc using Toast so I wouldn't have to carry along the packaging and everything (plus I like to have it just in case problems arise). I copied the image from my desktop which is actually Windows. Everything seemed fine. No errors were presented anywhere along the images journey. So now that I am away I installed Office. Problem is now that Powerpoint (my most used app, what are the odds) won't open.

A couple of side notes. I am running about as fresh of an install of Leopard as you can get, plus its all updated and what not. One strange occurrence through all of this was when I mounted the image it took over an excess of 20 mins to actually mount. I'm thinking the image is corrupted. A friend proposed a solution would be to run a checksum on the image, which I did. But what I over looked was the fact that I need something to check it against. I briefly looked on the mactopia site of any checksums and googled it as well. So my question becomes how and where can I get an official checksum to compare it against?

Suggestions greatly appreciated
