My wife has been having lots of problems with Microsloth on her Mac at work. Their IT guy suggested that she try using Open Office, which is an open-source version of Microsoft Office. So far its been working fine. I haven’t had a chance to try it in my office yet though.

If you feel comfortable messing around in the terminal you could try running the file system check routine from UNIX.
Restart your computer. As soon as you press restart you need to press and hold apple+S (the apple key and the s key). You’ll see the grey startup screen for a moment, then you’ll see white text on a black screen. This is the UNIX shell. At the prompt type
fsck -y
press return
When I have the bouncing icon problem I’ve noticed that fsck usually reports that it’s found a few orphaned threads. When fsck has finished running it will probably state something to the effect that the file system has been changed. If that’s the case, run fsck -y again. Keep running it until the routine reports that the file system appears to be okay. To get back to OSX type
reboot
and press the return key.
A few weeks ago I had the same problem you mentioned, only none of my applications would start. The icons bounced for a minute or two then nothing.
I couldn’t start Tech Tool or any other repair utilities. Running fsck from UNIX was the only thing that saved my bacon. -
I had a similar problem recently. I used Peak to change the sample rate on the MP file from 44k to 48k and that fixed the problem.

I don’t use it very often, but Cinema 4D has worked well for me.

Download what?

I didn’t think that the number could be modified, but I figured that it was worth a shot. I already keep all my projects in a folder, but I need to go through a couple subfolders before I get to the project files. It looks like some housekeeping is in order. I’ll try leaving aliases for all of my project files in a single folder.
Thanks for the input guys.

Paul,
I’ve been having the same problem, but I’m not sure that it’s the drives. Many times my G4 will crash after capturing footage. If I capture the same footage on the same disks using my laptop it works fine. Both computers have the same version of FinalCut and the same version of the Mac OS. I still haven’t been able to figure out just what’s going on.
