Hi Anton:
There are two things this could be. The most likely is that your System
Pre-Binding has gotten corrupted. The following is a fix:
Symptoms
If you install Motion 2.1, part of Final Cut Studio 5.1, or other
applications that use "split segment" non-system libraries on an Intel-based
Mac, then Microsoft Office applications may fail to launch.
Products Affected
Portable Computers, Desktop Computers, Microsoft Office
Resolution
If this happens to you, just update pre-binding to resolve the issue. Follow
these steps:
1. If you haven't already, log into the computer as a user who has an
administrator account.
2. Navigate to the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder.
3. Open Terminal.
4. Type: sudo update_prebinding -root / -force
5. Press Return.
6. When prompted for a password, enter your admin password, and press Return
again.
7. Note: Pre-binding will take a few minutes to complete. You may see
messages indicating that temp files are missing. These are harmless, and you
can ignore them. When pre-binding has been completed, the Terminal prompt
(usually a dollar sign, "$") returns.
8. Type: exit
9. Press Return.
10. Quit Terminal.
If this doesn¹t fix it, come back and we¹ll try the other fix.
Cheers
