[QUOTE="editorjoy, post: 1389005, member: 244852"] [b]Still not working[/b] Well, I installed the latest software update 1.1 as mentioned in the link, and downloaded & installed the RosettaFix Patch from the link. Then using the Disk Utility, I ran disk permissions on both the "500.28..." media as well as the "Macintosh HD" underneath it, just in case. I restarted and tried to open Microsoft Word as well as Excel and no luck. I tried a couple more times- installing the patch, restarting just in case, running disk permissions, restarting again, then trying to open any MS office program. Still the same problem :'( Not sure why the patch isn't working for me. I've attached a photo of the error message. Sounds like I will need to revert back using time machine, which would be a pain because I'm not sure what files I need that I wouldn't have from a month or so ago. Of course there is always purchasing the new updated software, but I doubt that I'm alone in that I don't like being told what to do & when to do it without warning I really do appreciate your help on this. Maybe there is a solution yet? [ATTACH=full]17155[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
