Many of the Microsoft Office extensions are known to cause a conflict with
Cell Quest opening exactly as you described. Using the Extension manager
that comes with System 7.5.2 or if you have Conflict Catcher or similar
extension manager utility installed, create a custom set of extensions to
load at startup that does not include Microsoft office. Refer to an earlier
response in the Cytometry archives where I listed the Microsoft extensions
known to cause conflicts.
Some other things to check are: turn virtual memory off; try increasing the
memory allotted to the Cell Quest program if your RAM configuration has the
capacity. We use MS Word 5.1 or ClarisWorks together with Cell Quest
without problems on a Mac PPC 7500/100.
