| Trying to install Office mac 2008 Home & Student Edition on my mac. I am replacing Office 2004. Because I ran into this problem I have deleted Office 2008 and reinstalled two times and had the same problem after both installs. The problem is that when I open Excel it immediately and on its own opens every Excel file I have one after the other without stopping. The worksheets appear to be blank. It continues to load files without stopping until memory is full, the computer locks down and I have to turn off the computer and reboot. The other Office programs (Word, Power Point) open without any problem and i am able to select and retrieve files as needed or to start a new file. I have used Time Machine and pulled forward Office 2004 that was there before Office 2008 was installed. When I do that Excel and all Office programs work fine again. The problem with Office 2008 Excel happens every time I try to load Excel, even after rebooting. The computer is not on a network and this is not a server, etc. problem.

Open Excel with the shift key down. Then after it opens go to preferences in
the General tab, clear the directory from the Open files at startup.

Have just installed Microsoft 2008 Home and Student Addition replacing Microsoft 2004. I cannot now open any of the MS programs – Word, Excel, etc. When I click on the Icon I get a pop-up window that is the Microsoft Office Set-up Assistant. I then fill in the fields and click on Continue. Immediately after that I get another pop-up that is a Microsoft Error Report saying Microsoft Set-up Assistant has encountered problems and needs to close. I have tried various ways to work around this to no avail. I went to another computer and registered the software with Microsoft and then rebooted on the computer with the problem. Still cannot get the new MSO 2008 programs to open. Would appreciate any help. >> Stay informed about: Student Select and Office for Mac 2008 |

Usually when something like this happens you need to look at your system
files. Office relies on system files to work.
What version of Entourage and what OS are you using? If you installed
Leopard how did you install?
There are 3 types of installs:
1. Upgrade Mac OS X (the default upgrade method)*
2. Archive and Install
3. Erase and Install
* Just because it's the default doesn't mean it's the best option.
This page describes what each method does:
Options to Install Leopard
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq_topic/leo_options.html>
Have you applied the latest Apple combo updater for Tiger or Leopard?

How Leopard was installed could be your problem.

The Setup Assistant is failing for you. It is not necessary to use the Setup
Assistant. It is not necessary to register either.
"Registration" has nothing to do with the operation of the software - unlike
the Activation required for MS Windows software. It's little more than a
marketing tool.
I think your problem is still your system files because they will not open.
The next step is to do an "Archive & Install". If this fails, you need to do
an "Erase & Install".
Archive and Install
Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select the
destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will
be the only one available).
Click Options. If you want to save your existing files, users, and network
settings, select ³Archive and Install,² and then select ³Preserve Users and
Network Settings.²
Click Continue.
Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you¹d like to install, or
click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended).
Once the install has finished, your system will be at whatever level the
disk you have is. So if your Install DVD/CD disk is 10.5, that's what
version of OS will be on your Mac. You will need to download the appropriate
Combo Updater from Apple's site to restore the system to a higher version.
After you run the combo, allow Software Update to download and install any
additional updates.

I have a Macbook running Tiger.
I am running Office X.
I installed Office Mac 2008 Home and Student.
I chose not to remove Office X when prompted.
I now wish to remove Office X and all its little bits.
As my import of data into Office 2008 was successful, especially Entourage, I have qualms about reinstalling Office 2008 and selecting the remove option. Is there another way? I do not know if I can even find the old Office X install disk (probably if I look). Can I just drag Office X etc to trash? Or what? >> Stay informed about: Student Select and Office for Mac 2008 |

Hi Sheldon -
I'm not sure why you interjected your question into this totally unrelated
thread, but base on what you describe you do *not* need to reinstall 2008.
The Remove Office utility is on your HD as well as the install disk but it
is run separately from the installer itself. When you launch Remove Office
it will locate all versions & give you the choice of which to remove.
You might check out some of the suggestions on the following page as they
pertain to Removing, but you won't be *installing* anything:-)

Please do not hijack other threads; your issue has nothing to do with
various editions of Mac Office, so please remember to create a new post the
next time you need to ask a question.
Messenger does not do audio/video chat (yet); in the meantime, you could try
other solutions such as Skype, as it is cross-platform and it works
beautifully. However, since you need to use MSN because your family uses it
as well, give aMSN a try. It is free and it allows you to chat with other
MSN users. The downside is that it is rather ugly, but then again, Microsoft
Messenger is not very likely to win a beauty pageant, either...
