Cannot open any Office programs after installing 12.1.1 update

[kabobking]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

After I downloaded and installed both the 12.1.0 and 12.1.1 updates for Office 2008 I cant get Word or any other programs to open. What happens is that when I click on an Office program like Word, Microsoft Office Setup Assistant opens and asks me if I want to participate in the "Customer Experience Improvement Program."

After selecting yes or no I press continue and it takes me to the "Get Started" screen. After I select finish it takes me to the Auto Update program and then I close those and Word nor any other Office program starts.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I am met with the same conclusions. Please help! Thanks in advance!
