Well, Microshaft got me.No, that's not true. Apple, Inc. got you You have Unix (Mac OS X) permission problems. You need to go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/First Aid and click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button. Then run the installer again.
If something is still wrong, use the Office X Remover that comes in the Value Pack (on the Office CD) to remove Office. It will not touch your data, which is in the Microsoft User Data folder in your user Documents folder. Then re-install Office X, re-apply SR-1, then apply the new 10-1.1 patch.
I downloaded the Office v.X 10.1.1 update that was released yesterday, because it included this statement:
"This update also addresses several stability issues that may be caused by running Office�v.�X using Mac�OS�10.2."
When I tried to install it, it started the install, then stopped and gave me the error message that I do not have enough access privileges to install it, even though I am the only user/administrator using this iBook, running 10.2. If I don't have the access privileges, I don't know who would. Okay, so I figure I'll just live without the update and go back to business as usual. But Nooooooooo!
Now when I try to launch Entourage, I get this message:
"Microsoft Entourage cannot load the Microsoft shared libraries.
The files may have been moved from their original locations. Try the following:
� Move Entourage back to the Microsoft Office folder (or to where it was originally installed).
� Reinstall Entourage to make sure that all files are installed correctly."
Well, Entourage IS in the Microsoft Office folder, where it always has been. So, if I take option 2 above and reinstall Entourage, will I lose all of my saved mail, downloaded but unread mail, and my contacts? And if so, is there any way to avoid that, such as moving a file and saving it to an external disk?
Thanks for any help that anyone can offer.
