powerpoint 2008 crash

Hi,

I've recently upgraded from v.x to 2008. I am running OS 10.4.11. I installed it under a local account with admin privillages. It works fine under that account. I've tested with other local accounts and it also works fine. There is this one network user (Active Directory) who opens powerpoint 2008 and within 10 secs of opening it crashes (100% of the time). This network user has local admin access. I've tried other network users and it also works fine for them.

At that point i thought it must be a profile issue (something to do with his preference files/fonts or whatever). I rename his account and get him to log in again. It creates a new profile as expected. however unexpectedly powerpoint still crashes!!!!!

The only thing i can think of is it must be a permissions issue. I have run disk repairer with the same result.

Anyone with any ideas? (word also crashes constantly. entourage seems fine).

I must say, MS PP and Word on Office 2008 crash constantly. Today, creating a PP file crashed 10 times in 2 hours. I am running OS 10.5.2. No ideas for help. Hopefully MS will figure something out soon.
