mabledog Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 When I try to use Microsoft Word, I get a message telling me that "The application microsoft word quit unexpectedly." It also says that nothing else was affected but that I should ignore, report..., or relaunch - all of which do absolutely nothing and even when I reinstall disc 1 that came with the computer, nothing changes. I can use none of the other software applications - can't open a emailed file on word or use office etc., etc. I can use the internet and itunes and things like this. I really am quite a beginer with this machine and computers in general - so please be nice.

mattrb Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Either you need to reinstall osx and microsoft office or you can just get openoffice which is better and free.

OK... i really do apologize for sounding like a broken record in my recent posts... especially when there are far more knowledgeable users here. As great and wonderful as Macs are, they aren't bullet proof. While installing and uninstalling a variety of software packages, I've triggered more than one psychotic episode for my poor Mac. OS X crashing, programs quitting unexpectedly, everything running PAINFULLY slow, the whole shebang. I can't tell you what was really wrong with my Mac but I can say running the cleaning routines found in a program called Onyx fixed it every time. It's probably not the best program out there and I can't say it's 100% infallible either... all I can say is that it has always worked for me. Who is to say if you have the same problems I had but this might be a good place to start. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/syst...ities/onyx.html Hope this helps.
