I have found why this happens. Certain file cleaners (in my case it was System Mechanic's "junk file" cleaner) DELETE the file OPA11.BAK. This file is needed by Office for its activation/validation process, which is checked everytime any Office product is run...at least in Office 2003 and 2007. Then if you run a registry cleaner afterwards, the corresponding key in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\(11.0 or 12.0)\Common\General\Data is deleted as invalid. If you reinstall the file and the registry key your Office will run like before. Oh. be sure to modify your file cleaner to NOT delete *.BAK files!!!
Cheers!
