Open your Documents folder and drag the Microsoft User Data folder to your
desktop. Now open any of your Office applications and see if they now work.

Do you use Entourage as your mail client? If yes, then you will need to drag
back your Office 2008 Identity and your Entourage Script Items folder from
the folder you moved to the desktop. Also check the folder for any other
personal data that you might need.

If you are still having problem, move the old Microsoft User Data folder
back and rebuild your database. See directions here:
