This question would actually be better directed to the Office.setup newsgroup,
but here are some standard things to try:

Help/Detect and Repair in any of the Office apps with VBA support

Start Windows in Safe Mode. If the problem disappears, then you've most likely
got a conflict with another app (such as management or antivirus software) or a
driver. Check what's loading on start up, and deactivate them, one-by-one, to
isolate the culprit.
