[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1484960, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. Not sure what you mean by Mac support has been AWOL? Have you been in contact with Apple support via phone or at an Apple store? Apple support is usually very good and customer service is excellent. 1. What kind of document is it? It appears to be code? 2. Not sure what you're referring to regarding passwords. OS X unlike Windows will require you to enter your admin password when installing software or if something is trying to make changes to the system. If you're being asked to provide a password to run applications, then it's likely a permissions problem. 3. If PP is opening when you start Windows, then it's probably in your startup folder. Open the folder and remove Powerpoint.exe. 4. Get rid of SMCFanControl. Uninstall it. It's not necessary - your machine is not overheating. The temperatures are normal. All notebook computers whether they be a Mac or PC are designed to run warm. [/QUOTE]
