Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / September 2006Power Point doesn't start after Office 2004 11.2.5 update on an Intel iMac
Power Point could not start. The message says that the computer architecture does not support Microsoft Power Point. I have an iMac intel based what's wrong? If you do have an MacIntel machine. Office2004 won't necessarily run on it in native mode. I am quoting this from memory, but I seemed to remember from some newsgroup to run a given application that wouldn't startup on MacIntel Machine to: Quit the application then from finder do get info (command-I) Then there is supposed to be a new item with a check box that says Run in Rosetta. Check that box. Then quit get info. Then open again. It may run slow but should. <YMMV> > Power Point could not start.

Assuming you have the Office suite, do you get the same behavior with Word and Excel? If you're running a version prior to PowerPoint X or 2004 (such as 98 or 2001), they will not run as the Classic environment isn't supported on Intel-based Macs (per http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/universal_binary/univ ersal_binary_exec_a/chapter_7_section_2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002217-CH21 0-BCICICJH). Office 2004 will not run natively on Intel-based Macs as it was compiled for PowerPC but DOES run under Rosetta. The checkbox that Phillip is referring to (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/universal_binary/univ ersal_binary_exec_a/chapter_7_section_5.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002217-CH21 0-BAJDHEDD) shouldn't appear on apps compiled for PowerPC as it must run under Rosetta anyway. I tried it and the UI isn't there on the PowerPoint app file but does appear for Calculator.
