Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel
Several days ago my wife went out and purchased the new Office 2008 which
I can't wait to try. My whole purpose for buying it when she did was so
that I could have it with me when I took the business trip I am currently
on.
So I thought I'd be smart and I had her create an image of the disc using
Toast so I wouldn't have to carry along the packaging and everything (plus
I like to have it just in case problems arise). I copied the image from my
desktop which is actually Windows. Everything seemed fine. No errors were
presented anywhere along the images journey. So now that I am away I
installed Office. Problem is now that Powerpoint (my most used app, what
are the odds) won't open.
A couple of side notes. I am running about as fresh of an install of
Leopard as you can get, plus its all updated and what not. One strange
occurrence through all of this was when I mounted the image it took over
an excess of 20 mins to actually mount. I'm thinking the image is
corrupted. A friend proposed a solution would be to run a checksum on the
image, which I did. But what I over looked was the fact that I need
something to check it against. I briefly looked on the mactopia site of
any checksums and googled it as well. So my question becomes how and where
can I get an official checksum to compare it against?
Suggestions greatly appreciated
