Help! I am about to give up and I don't want to!

I purchased my laptop with Vista Home Premium 64-bit back in April, along with Office Home & Student 2007. Office worked fine for a while, but now it tries to reinstall (unsuccessfully) every time I run an app (eg: I get an error such as "Microsoft Office Excel has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application."). I have searched the web, checked the forums, and followed all of the tips given:

- I've changed ownership to myself
- I've run SetACL (see http://www.vistax64.com/vista-gener...-error-not-been-installed-current-user-2.html)
- I've deleted the MSO.dll and OPA12.dat files and restored from previous versions
- I've manually changed permissions for each application
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office
- I am NOT using a pirated version!

I can "Run as Administrator" (which, by the way, does not try to reinstall; it jumps right into the app), but I shouldn't have to!

The only thing I can think of that might have affected this is that at one time I ran a Microsoft System Cleanup Tool for an unrelated situation, and it might have inadvertently done something (I do not remember what the cleanup tool was, however).
