Sambal Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hello Something very strange happened here. MS Word used to work on this computer, but now suddenly it doesn't launch anymore. When I open it through the finder I get "You cannot launch word because it is not supported by this architecture" and when I launch it using the dock I get 'the application word cannot be launched -10661'. I guess this has something to do with rossetta suddenly not being used for the application anymore? All help is welcome! Thanks in advance.

macgirl Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Reinstall it, maybe it downloaded something from MS and now does not work.

If we are talking about Office 2004 for mac, then you can apply all Servicepacks and updates from M$. Still runs here very stabile.

suleiman Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 wow. After literally MONTHS of using office it suddenly popped up with the same error. This could mean doom, less then a month before exams. I ran the service pack and got the same. Having an internet connection doesn't make a difference. edit: A weird solution to be sure, but basically if you rename word to word2, and then put it in the trash, and then recover it from the trash, then you should be able to get it tto work again. I don't know if you need to rename it, but it should work without.
