Perhaps you could try to re-register Excel and Word?

Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes and note the space before the /
mark).

Then Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"

You may have to enter your full path to excel.exe....in that case surround
with quotes as in..... "C:\mypath\to Excel\somewhere\excel.exe" /regserver

For Word...........

Start>Run "winword.exe /r" (no quotes and note the space before the /
mark). Again, you may have to enter the full path to winword.exe
