Just recently all of my Microsoft Office applications have quit working - they crash as soon as they load. (Sneaky lil buggers act like they are going to work and wait 5 secs after loading a blank template and make me a lil hopeful before they close down!) I have not added any RAM or made any significant changes or updates. I am on a MacBook Pro, OS X version 10.5.8, 2 GB 667 MHz, 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

I am getting the following crash report:

The rest of the report is in the attached file. I have run disk utility, tried removing different preference files and numerous other things that I have found through this and other forums. Unfortunately I am still pretty new to Macs and don't have much experience with the programming/behind the scenes stuff as I do with PCs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Hannah


eta: This happens for Word, Excel and Powerpoint - if it would be helpful I can save the Excel and Powerpoint reports and upload them as well...

You're using a pretty old version of Office, but I see that you don't have any of the updates installed. The latest version of Office X is 10.1.9. I'd start with installing that and seeing if it makes a difference.

If not, I'd uninstall, reinstall, and apply the 10.1.9 update again.

Regards,
Nadyne.
 
Same problem - Office X crashing all of the sudden

I also have an older version of Microsoft Office (2004 - don't use it enough to justify newer one) and just yesterday all the applications started crashing as soon as I try to open them. I uninstalled the program and trashed the preferences (several times) and reinstalled it and then installed the 10.1.9 update. Still crashing. Any suggestions would sure be appreciated. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. (Error message is below.) Thanks!

Same issue w/ Mac Office 2008

I'm running Microsoft Office 2008 and I'm running into the exact same issue - all Office apps crash right before they launch. Full disclosure, I've been trying to reset the license, because someone else registered the same one so I've been tearing preference files out right and left. I've reinstalled and restarted about 3 times now, with no effect - I've even tried restoring from a Timemachine back up. No dice.
 
Completely uninstall microsoft and reintstall

Hi everyone,

I was able to get it working! Here's what I did:

1. Disconnect from the network
2. Shut down office (if open)
3. Remove the following files and directories:

/Library/Application Support/Microsoft
/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.*
/Library/Fonts/Microsoft
/Users/[youruser]/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
/Users/[youruser]/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.*
/Users/[youruser]/Library/Application Support/Microsoft
/Users/[youruser]/Documents/Microsoft...
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008

4. Empty the trash (hold down CTL if you get any duff)
5. Restart your machine.
6. Reinstall Mac Office 2008.

On install you should be be immediately prompted for a Product Key.
