[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1643284, member: 76746"] Good Day To All! February has officially become Problems With The Computers Month around my house. The latest upset involves Microsoft Office. I have Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro (Running OS X 10.6.8). It is a purchased copy, not the 365 service. I have never subscribed to 365 Service (and truthfully never heard of it until this problem surfaced.) The problem is that Activity Monitor shows that a program called [I]Office365Service[/I] is running. Further inspection shows that it starts whenever any Office program is opened and does not end until the computer is restarted. Activity Monitor shows Real Memory usage to vary from 3.2 to 28 mb, even when no Office programs were running. If I look in /private/var/log and view the file [I]Daily.out[/I] I can find entries titled "Office365Service Is Listening From 127.0.0.1:1538 proto = 6" Sometimes there are hundreds of these entries in a row, sometimes only 5 or 6. I started by asking at the Microsoft forums for Office 2011, Office 365 and a general forum. A member tired hard to help, but had no luck. His conclusion was that it does not belong, but he could not find out how to get rid of it. I made sure Word-Preferences-Feedback was turned off. That didn't help. I also use only Word & Excel. Outlook is not installed, so it is not a Mail gathering thing going on. Next, I removed the application titled "Office 365 Service.app" from the Applications/Microsoft Office/Office folder. That turned out to be not a good idea. Any Office program would crash a couple of minutes after starting. I had to put it back. Attaced are screen shots of where Activity Monitor showed me to find the file & a piece of the Daily Out log file. Do any of you have any ideas how to get rid of this resource hog (and log file clogger-upperer)? Also, just for fun, what is the world is is "listening" to? Thanks Very Much for your suggestions & advice! They are appreciated, Paul [ATTACH=full]21887[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]21888[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
