- Hi all,
-
- I have a IIcx with 5mb Ram. I bought and installed Sys 7.1. I also
- bought Word 5.1. I started up with shift key down to disable extensions.
- I then tried to install Word 5.1. I used custom install. The installer
- loaded all the compressed files and then began to decompress. It only
- decompressed the Word application and then I got a system error (bomb). I
- tried this more than once. I put the system and finder in a separate
- folder and tried...system bomb. I rebuilt the desktop (suggested by
- Microsoft Tech Rep and tried...system bomb. I reinstalled the system and
- tried...system bomb. I tried the installation on an SE/30 w System 7.0
- and it worked so I don't think its the disk. I was either getting an
- F-line or illegal instruction error when it bombed. I was able to restart
- and use Stuffit Deluxe to decompress the files, but I would like to know
- what the problem is. I have had the Mac totally freeze on a few occasions
- in Word 5.1 - no mouse, no cursor, no way out except programmer's switch.
- Has anyone out there had similar problems with this configuration?
-
- Thanks!
