Hi,

I have a brand new windows 2008 server (64 bit) with a brand new installation of Office 2007, fully patched with all windows updates etc.

Every time I try to run any of the office apps it crashes immediately, even in safe mode.

the only remotely useful information I get is:

 Exception Code: c0000005
 Exception Data: 00000008

If I Run in compatibility mode for windows XP, everything is fine.

Anyone ever seen this before? I've tried turning off DEP but that made no difference either

Thanks

Tim

Word 2007 crashes on Server 2008 R2 terminal services

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
We are finding that Word 2007 (with SP2) crashes when used on a Windows 2008 R2 terminal server. Typically it crashes when you click File/Open or File/Save, but not every time. Maybe one time in four, and just to be really confusing, on a test server in my office I can't make it crash. I have just… >>> More
