why am i getting a type II error when im trying to open office 98 MS WORD?<br><br>

well there is bound to be something specific to your machine but type 2 errors are always address errors.<br>ID=02 Address Error<br>The Motorola 68000 microprocessor can access memory in increments of one byte (8 bits), one word (16 bits), or one long word (32 bits). The microprocessor can access a byte of information at an odd or even memory address. But it must access a word or long word at an even memory address. So, when the microprocessor attempts to read or write a word or long word at an odd address, you see this error. Since that's a 50/50 proposition when running random code, this one shows up quite often.<br><br>Now that leaves it open and there are numerous reasons why this may occur on your machine. <br>BUT <br>I am afraid that you are the person who knows them.<br><br>=============================================================<br>| "Behold the Turtle, he maketh no progress ==== until he sticketh out his neck." |<br>=============================================================

I cant figure this out, i tried giving more memory to the program, i even rebuilt my desktop, i tried norton utlities, and nothing has worked. I guess im just out of like eh.<br><br>

well what machine are you trying to run it on?<br>what system? <br>was all well until recently?<br>or is this a new install?<br><br>=============================================================<br>| "Behold the Turtle, he maketh no progress ==== until he sticketh out his neck." |<br>=============================================================

G4 Os 9 and it was installed a year ago<br><br>

Found this in another forum:<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Microsoft extensions installed by Photoshop 5.5 cause crashes in Office 98;<br>Kodak extension follow-up<br>Update<br> Microsoft extensions Three readers (Steve Godun, Michael Frankel and Simon Brown) have now reported the exact same cause for system crashes in Office applications after installing Photoshop 5.5. <br><br>Photoshop 5.5 installs two Microsoft extensions that are a different version that what Office installs:<br><br>* Microsoft Structured Storage <br>* Microsoft Component Library <br><br>Apparently, Photoshop installs versions 2.22 of these extensions, while the OLE component of Word 98 installs version 2.24 (of possible relevance, the Internet Access component of Mac OS 9 reportedly also installs the older 2.22 version).<br><br>For Steve and Michael, the symptom was Type 2 errors in Microsoft Office applications (especially Word 98, when copying or saving).

When you next launch an Office application, the newer versions will be installed.

I ran a patch for office 98 and that seemed to help, thanks for your help everyone, i got it to work again. In case this happens to anyone else here is the link.<br>http://www.microsoft.com/mac/download/<br>but on a side note, yes i did recently install IE 5.1 but for some reason it wouldnt let me see Quick time videos, so i delted IE 5.1. But that must have been it.<br><br><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by gnfnr2k on 02/11/02 02:03 PM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

yeah I never use MS IE for much, especially QuickTime so I wouldn't know .. you probably need the latest version ..of QT.. for IE 5.1.<br>I only keep it around to make my iDisk pages. <br><br>=============================================================<br>| "Behold the Turtle, he maketh no progress ==== until he sticketh out his neck." |<br>=============================================================
