At least it was just a comment and not a starred review. Guess the writer did not want to take the LIE that far...

So you're saying that it's beyond the realm of possibility that the updater screwed up the Powerpoint executable to the point that the OS thought it was a classic application?

Some people just love being rude... it's nice to see that you're one of them. Of course you're probably a mousy little dork in person, but suddenly become a jerk when you're put in front of a computer.

Oh yes, I've heard of this. Thousands of poor defenseless OS X programs suddenly and mysteriously being rewritten as classic apps. It's all part of the government's secret agenda to bring OS 9 back to the masses.

NOT!

I had a little problem too - after the update my Excel just disappeared off my hard drive. I know it sounds strange, but it was just gone - I couldn't find it anywhere.

Same with me - OS X 10.4.7 - after the MS update PowerPoint doesn't run anymore. Typing command + i on the app file lables it as "classic" (!), trying to launch PP results in an error message.

Any ideas from the community?

Hey, this happened to Word on one of the machines at Work. I solved it by doing the following:

From Finder, click on Finder in the dropdown menu and select Preferences. Select Advanced. Put a checkmark in "Show all file extensions". Close the window.

Navigate to your applications folder and then to your MS Office 2004 folder and select Microsoft PowerPoint (or substitute the app that is affected) Click once to where you can rename the application and add .app to the end of that. Click off of PowerPoint and then reselect Powerpoint. If things worked the way they did for me then it should no longer show it as a classic application.

Good luck

Thank you for the insight. I just updated my computer with the latest Microsoft Update (for Word 2004) and afterwards Microsoft Word thought it was a Classic application. As you suggested, I added .app to the name of the application, and all was well again. Subsequently, I deleted the .app, and it continued to work properly.
