I installed Panther and now my Powerpoint app does not work. I click to start the app and it starts (shows on the top bar) then crashes and I get a "EXC_BAD_ACCESS" and "KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE" error.

Any help???

Office updated to most recent version? If yes, then:

Delete preferences

Repair permissions

Reinstall Office/PowerPoint

Might want to check and see if any fonts are causing issues. But typically this will affect the entire office suite if so...

I have the same issue, but with me ALL Office versions are not working. They launch, and they never seem to finish loading, it causes a system wide freeze...... Pisses me off.....

I need to track down what the problem might be, it used to work perfectly until I upgraded to Panther..
Its not the fact that life is fact, but that life itself is a fact of the unknown....
