Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
I have a client that I just upgraded 7 PowerMac G5's to 8-core Intel Mac Pro's.
The new machines are all running OS 10.5.5, and Office 2004 with the latest 11.5.1 update. The Office is a fresh install, none of the applications were transferred from the old machines, just the user accounts.
One of the users has a particularly annoying issue with the Microsoft Database Daemon application. When he logs into his account, if you open Activity Monitor, the Database Daemon goes to 100% processor utilization and becomes unresponsive for approximately 13 minutes (I timed it.) During this time, all Office 2004 applications become unresponsive, for example, Word will open, and create a document window, but will not put a white page with a cursor over the blue background. After the Database Daemon frees up, all Office apps run normally, you can open and quit them as you please.
Since the user is on an Exchange account, I moved is old mail database to the desktop and forced Entourage to reload it, to no avail. I've repaired permissions, run the prebinding terminal command, and tried disabling all user fonts and preferences I could find.
The machine has an administrator account on it, and if you log in to that account, the Database Daemon operates normally, but that account doesn't have email set up.
I'm certain it's something in this users account, but I can't figure out what.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!
