Issues with Office 365 - Microsoft Community

so i've had reinstall operating system on laptop. no problems there, went smooth can expected. reinstalling office 365. should easy, click on download link, run installer, , work, right?

wrong.

any time try open word message, "sorry, went wrong , word unable start. (6)" , fails open. same occurs when trying open word file. however, application opens no trouble when run administrator.

outlook gives message, "either there no default mail client or current mail client cannot fulfill messaging request. please run microsoft outlook , set default mail client." continues open without trouble. however, outlook set default mail client. running administrator gives no message , runs perfectly.

onenote gives message, "onenote cannot start because microsoft installation missing required files. run office setup again repair installation." again running administrator opens application without issue.

access, excell, powerpoint , publisher run without apparent issue.

the problem i'm having have run repair on installation 10 times now, both quick repair , online repair. nothing has fixed problem. have tried installing both 32 , 64 bit versions of program, have tried installing office 365 office 2013 applications, , none of makes difference. i'm @ end of rope, figured i'd ask experts time around.
