For the first error message U can resolve it by going to C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates and rename normal.dot to normal.dot.old

*support.microsoft.com/kb/q212669/

But for the second error u need to reinstall Office for sure ... but since u mentioned that the issue started some days back only I would suggest restoring the OS back to when it was working ...
