Running Microsoft PowerPoint on an Apple iMac G5 (crash)



Why oh why don’t Microsoft make products that don’t crash? All I wanted to do was open a PowerPoint presentation.

I’ve been using a Mac now for five years, it never gets a virus, it never crashes and simply works.

Microsoft have been making computer software for well over 20 years, why does this still happen?

Even the ‘error reporting’ application (why is it a stand alone application?) does not work.

How do I report an error in the error reporting application?

?????????????

I’ll get my coat.

    Im sorry totally disagree with you here! i barely have problems with microsoft! i just think you are trying to do to much at once! if you have lots of applications running thats when it crashes! Maybe im just lucky! knowing my luck you wasnt running a lot

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for the comment, I have to have loads of applications open at once, thats the nature of my job. I can’t afford to have a crash no matter how many applications I have running. My mac does not crash, its the Microsoft programs that crash. I believe that no matter how many applications you have running the computer should perform perfectly.

    Very true, windows sux, cant even force quit some programs without making the forcequit program freeze up itself, Mac owns PC !!!
