I had the exact same thing happen to me. I agonized for five days
before I finally found the fix. I tried everything I could think of at
the time and everything suggested on the internet forums. I ran every
registry repair software I could find, every malware, antivirus I could
get my hands on. Removed and reinstalled Office and a host of other
things.
The Microsoft company tech people were the least helpful; the only
thing they know how to do is insult you.
This is what worked for me:
1. go to RUN from your start button
2. in the field type command
3. A black popup window will appear
4. at the prompt (flashing | ) type in cd\
5. this will take you to your root directory for the c drive
6. At the c:\> prompt type bcdedit.exe /set nx OptOut
7. Close all open windows
8. Reboot your computer
9. Try to open your Office application again
10. Don’t freak out when you get that same “do you want
to run in safe mode?” Popup again.
11. answer yes
12. If the application opens – close down office
13. reopen the office application again - it should now open
normally
This worked for me; I sure hope it fixes your concern too!
