Office 07 multitude of errors

Dec 1, 2010 9:40PM PST

Whenever I open office 2007, i get the following two errors:
1 "This document cannot be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document."
2 "There is insufficient memory or disk space. Word cannot display the selected font."
http://bit.ly/gba9XV http://bit.ly/fETfBG these two links are two possible solutions to these problems.

What I have tried so far: deleted my printer entirely (I have 0 printer drivers installed). Tried opening in safe mode to see if it still presented a problem. it did (IE is not caused by a 3rd party add in).
-onto the other page now -
went into services.msc and played around with the dcomlauncher, even ran dcomcfg and confirmed all my permissions were set to default. no change. I deleted /DATA under office 12/word in the registry. no change.
-other misc. stuff I tried-
rebooting. it persisted
microsoft office diagnostic tool. everything (check for known solutions, and memory, compatibility, disk and setup diagnostics) checked out. but it popped up saying it had fixed something...let's check that out...nope error still pops up.

this error causes me to not be able to use any fonts but cambria or calibri. that's a bit of a problem.

I am running win7x64 pro on a macbook pro fully using windows, no vitualization here. I have 8gb ram and a big ol' hard drive, so there's no reason for me to be running out of space.

This message appears also when the "RPC locator service is stopped".

Given how much tweaking I encounter in Windows by us or other software I can't say this is a bug in Word.

I make NO APOLOGIES for the state of software today. It's a shame that Word would issue such an error and it would take a guru to fix it or have us reinstall an OS and not touch any setting.

Be sure to report this bug or issue.
