cannot access your data

T

Tony Ragusea

Other people have had similar problems to this but not quite the same.
All of a sudden one day a bunch of my applications got screwed up
(imac 400 G3), including Entourage X. Not a virus. I was able to fix
all in various ways except for Entourage. Every time I start it up,
it gives me the error "Cannot access your data" and then it tell me to
rebuild the database. I rebuild and rebuild and rebuild (typical and
advanced) but to no avail. The rebuilds are successful, but it then
tells me I have to shut down other Office applications and then
Entourage shuts down. I know about the Mailor Daemon and have turned
it off by turning off Office Notifications. It is not a Login Item.
Doesn't matter. I still get the exact same message from Entourage.
When I copy Office and the Microsoft User Data folders to my external
bootable drive and startup from it, I have no problem opening
Entourage. So is it even a problem with Entourage? I have
reinstalled Office on my original drive, but it doesn't matter.
What's the deal? any tips?

Is your startup disk nearly full? If there is not enough room for swapfiles
etc, behaviour like this can occur.
