HANGS AFTER ALLOWING KEYCHAIN ACCESS

I updated to Entourage 2.1.7 and tried to allow keychain access. I get the spinning beachball of death and the empty space on my hard drive disappears (about 3-4gigs) I repaired permissions and also the keychain. I ran monolingual and freed up hard drive space. There're about 7 gigs available. What do I do now? Thanks! MacBook Pro 2.14gHz, 2G ram.

I updated to Entourage 2.1.7 and tried to allow keychain access. I get the
spinning beachball of death and the empty space on my hard drive disappears
(about 3-4gigs) I repaired permissions and also the keychain. I ran
monolingual and freed up hard drive space. There're about 7 gigs available.

You need a minimum of 10% free space on your drive for virtual memory.

What do I do now? Thanks! MacBook Pro 2.14gHz, 2G ram.

Running monolingual will now make your Office install not accept any future
updates. See Dos and Don'ts for a good install

To check how much free space is available on your startup disk:

*In Finder, select your startup disk's icon. For most users, this is
Macintosh HD.
*Press the Command-I keyboard combination.
*The Get Info window for your startup disk will open.
*In the General pane, the Capacity, Available (free space), and space Used
on your startup disk will be displayed

WhatSize is a simple tool that allows the user to quickly measure the size
in bytes of a given folder and all subfolders and files within it. You would
be surprised at how many useless files might be laying around on your hard
disks. The files and folders are automatically sorted by size, with the
biggest sizes first

Thanks! I trashed the Office folder and reinstalled, updated and checked permissions, but no luck. I then said "do not allow" to keychain prompts and it worked! Thanks again!

I'm not going to argue with success, but it sounds like you selected NOT to
store in the keychain and will have to enter it every time.
