Symbol not found: ___stack_chk_guard
A few months ago I purchased and installed Office 2008 for Mac from the CD and then updated it by means of AutoUpdate whenever an update became available. Most recently I updated to v. 12.2.7. I have had no problems with installing any of the updates, and all parts of 12.2.7 work on my system — except that AutoUpdate now will no longer open.
The AutoUpdate Crash Log says 'Symbol not found: __stack_chkguard'. Searching on the Net, I see, as I said above, that this is a common problem involving various applications.
I am in touch with Microsoft Office for Mac Technical Support, but they have not yet come up with a solution. I wonder whether anyone can tell me whether there is a solution from the Apple point of view? Is ' __stack_chkguard' something that can be downloaded from somewhere and installed?
Any information will be most gratefully received.
