I've just got home with my new mac air and am trying to install OFFICE 2011 via dvd drive. During the installation, I keep getting a message which says 'Cant install while the following programme is running: Safari'; but safair isn't running! Do I need to disable safari or uninstall? Advice? Thanks! |

(Don't use MS Office on my Macs, so just taking a guess here.) I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. Place your vote for our Member of the Month |

When you close the last Safari window by clicking the red dot, you have not yet Quit the application. You need to use Command-Q, or select Safari > Quit Safari from the menu in order to truly get out of it. Not doing that, but still closing the last window, leaves the application open and makes it faster to open another session. The above is true for all programs that can have more that one window open. Programs that can only have one window open at a time will Quit via the red button. Last edited by toMACsh; 07-24-2011 at 08:09 AM. Reason: added , |
