Microsoft Office 2007 to Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010

[Guest MeUnique]

I recently upgraded my Microsoft Office 2007 to Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. Then, my nightmare began.

Every time I would open Word 2010, and all other MS Office programs, I get this error message: "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more details.

So, here's the event log that even confuses me more:

General Description:

I have no idea how to fix this. I've been looking around here, but there has been no issues similar to this. Is there a solution to this problem?
