Do any X86_64 compiled applications just work, or none? If some do work then Rosetta2 is doing its job, and there is no guarantee that it will work for all X86_64 applications. Reinstalling it won't make any difference in the latter case if you have an incompatible X86_64 application.

Yes good point. I've narrowed it down to empower - the add-in for Powerpoint. It just crashes Powerpoint on startup. I also have the Thinkcell add-in in Powerpoint, but that runs native and refuses to run when Rosetta is enabled for PowerPoint. So its basically an empower problem the way I see it and there is nothing I can do about it - have messaged them already to see what they have to say.
