Fixing Office v.X crashes, revisited
Authored by: ottonomy on Oct 27, '03 03:43:05PM

Excel and PowerPoint were unexpectedly quitting on me immediately after the Project Gallery appeared. After reading about the corrupt font issues, and following all the recommended routines to no avail, I did some more serious searching and found my answers in some user reviews of Office v.X updaters at VersionTracker.com. Users jwolf and OKF were most helpful in outlining the DIVX/QuickTime conflict with the Project Gallery and suggesting a useful workaround before the DIVX update was available.

Conflicts with the Project Gallery need not cripple Office apps entirely. Should this problem arise again, simply open an existing document with the problem app, so that Project Gallery doesn't open on launch. Then go to Preferences-General and turn off "Open Project Gallery at Startup."

Thanks OKF whoever you are!

Otto
