Microsoft Word Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files.

My computer was corrupted by a virus. I cleaned everything up, except
I was getting the following errors:
When opening Excel: Microsoft Excel can't load speech recognition
files
When opening Word: Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files.
Also, both apps were taking forever to open.

I fixed this by reading the following:
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...s+ctfmon.exe+do&rnum=4&hl=en#6797fecbf836391f

Excel and Word open a LOT faster!

This is what I did to fix the problem.
To prevent Ctfmon.exe from running, follow these steps.
Step 1: Uninstall Alternative User Input
To uninstall the alternative user input feature, set the installation
state to Not Available in Office XP Setup.

Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Microsoft Windows 98, or
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0:
1.. Quit all Office programs.

2.. Click Start , point to Settings , and then click Control Panel .

3.. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs .

4.. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click to select Microsoft Office XP
product , where Office XP product is the name of the specific Office
product being used. If you are using a standalone version of one of the
Office programs, click to select the appropriate product in the list.
Click Add/Remove .

5.. In the Maintenance Mode Options dialog box, select Add or Remove
Features , and then click Next . This displays the Choose installation
options for all Office applications and tools dialog box.

6.. Click the plus sign (+) next to Office Shared Features to expand
it.

7.. Click the icon next to Alternative User Input , and then select
Not Available .

8.. Click Update .

NOTE : If you have multiple Office XP products installed, for example,
Office XP Professional and Publisher 2002, you must repeat the
preceding steps for each installed product.
