Microsoft office client virtualization handler has stopped working

Question

Whenever I try to open a Microsoft Office file or application I receive the error that "microsoft office client virtualization handler has stopped working" When I try to uninstall the Microsoft office program or the Click to run option I get the same error. No option appears that allows me to attempt to repair the file. I had been using the free trial and had purchased the full program, but this error is also not allowing me to update or install the download I purchased.

Answer 4

I am having the same problem, but when I go to the link I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing.  This problem started when I downloaded the trial of Office 2010.  Unfortunately I can't uninstall it because I keep getting the same message.  Can you offer a solution?

Answer 5

I get that problem everytime I start my computer, it never leaves even when I close it, it comes back a minute later.

I have windows vista as well.
