Office 2007 apps refuse to start on main user account, but...

So one day my Office 2007 just stopped working. Clicking on Excel resulted in
a crash. Clicking on Word resulted in "not enough memory or disc space to
run". Of course, something had to happen between the last time Office 2007
worked (about two weeks ago) and now, some driver, some Windows component,
some update - but I can't say I have any suspects. I spent the last two days
browsing the net in search for answers, here is what I got so far:
a) Methods like full uninstall/reinstall, deleting some registry keys,
deleting templates and other files, trying to run in safe mode (both app
and/or Windows) - none of these work for me. The only result I got after
reinstall is that now clicking on Word or Excel does not even result in the
crash anymore - just nothing happens (same if I run them from command line,
etc.). I can still get the crash if I run some Office apps that normal people
never run, e.g. SETLANG.EXE or GRAPH.EXE, but for all main apps it's just
quick silent exit without any message.
b) The only method that worked for me was to make another user account and
launch the apps from there. They work. I can even run the app on the original
user account, just with different credentials (from that new temp. account).
While b) at least allows me to work, it's obviously not the best solution.
All help/suggestions will me greatly appreciated :)
