Office Programs Won't Open?

[cieciura]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I just installed Microsoft Office 2008, and then it checked for updates so I installed the most recent update. Then I tried to open word, excel, and powerpoint and a message pops up for all of them saying that they can't open. I tried restarting and it didn't fix anything. I followed all directions for the installation too. Microsoft Messenger and Entourage open though? Help!

installed the most recent update. Then I tried to open word, excel, and

What version is this file: Microsoft Component Plugin?

"/Applications/Microsoft Office
2008/Office/MicrosoftComponentPlugin.framework"

If you create a new User in System Preferences and switch to the new User,
do you get the same error?

Can you post a screenshot of the error you get when you try to open?
