My Office 2003 Professional was working just fine. However, a couple of days ago when I try to start any Office application (Word, Excel, etc.), a setup box comes up "gathering information" and then an error message shows saying "Error 25090. Office Setup encountered a problem with the Office Source Engine, system error: -2147024703. Please open C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033\SETUP.CHM and look for "Office Source Engine" for information on how to resolve this problem.
In that file, it says the error can be solved by starting the ose.exe service or by re-installing Office. Needless to say, I tried starting ose.exe from the services window and it said it cannot start. I then tried re-installing Office using the repair option and then re-installing Office altogether and none of these worked. The same error message came up:

What else can I try?
