Hi,


I have started getting to get an error message, " The Preferences File Could not be opened." with my Microsoft Office 2003 Entourage for Mac. I use mac OSX. I have even tried uninstalling Entourage and reinstalling it again. What could be the problem ???

To remove error : The Preferences File Could not be opened. The end of file was reached. Try Repairing Permissions.:

1. Open the disc
2. Utility in Applications / Utilities folder.
3. Click on the First Aid tab and
4. Select Repair Permissions
5. Click the icon for your boot volume.
6. Click the Repair Permissions button.

Adding spaces between parameters, R & B could be a problem, but again, an error message is likely to appear. Speaking of parameters, N does not appear to be an option for the chmod command. When the terminal can consult the documentation of a command using the command such as 'man chmod'.

To resolve Entourage Error, you must remove your current Identity Preference file and let Entourage create a new one. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Locate and open the folder that contains the files that make up the Identity that is experiencing problems.

The Identities folders are found in the following default path:
Drive: Documents: Microsoft User Data:Office 2001 Identities:Main Identity
2. In the Identity folder, locate the Preferences file.
3. Click the Preferences file, and then move the file to the Trash on the Macintosh desktop.
4. Restart Entourage.
