I've had the same problem for one of my clients as well:
Opening winword, excel, outlook, powerpnt, all give the same error:

*winword gives the error: "There is not enough memory or disk space to
run word 2007"
*excel attempts to start in safe mode, then gives the same error as
winword.
*outlook gives the error: "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.
Cannot initialize Microsoft Office shared utilities. Restart your
computer or reinstall Microsoft Office Outlook."

Steps taken so far:
*1.* Uninstalled and reinstalled Office (gives exact same results)
*2. *Went to run->Appwiz.cpl -> MS Office 2007 ->Change -> Add or
remove features ->right click -> "run from my computer". (This
supposedly works for some other users on other forums, but not for me)
*3. a.* When 2 failed me: Logged in as administrator, launched all
office programs: winword, excel, outlook, etc. Went to
regedit->HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office ->exported Office folder and
saved to C:.
*3. b.* Logged back in as user with issue, imported the registry file
from 3. a. Still no effect.

This isn't necessarily a problem with hard disk space: If one of you
uses "run as" (a separate administrator account) you'll notice the
software starts properly.

Hopefully (and I know this is an old thread) if it saves you from
having to do a reformat, easier thing to do is delete the account,
create a new one and migrate all the files to the new one. Something is
pooched with the current account's installer for MS Office.

If all that fails, get OpenOffice.
