Found this bit of info - you may be chasing smoke!
Hello everyone, My name's Martyn Lovell, and I'm the development lead of the team that produces msvcr80.dll [The Visual C++ Libraries team]. There are a couple of things I'd like to clarify. First, let me be clear that NOONE should download the file linked here, because it is a beta copy of the software and not compatible with the final version that has now been released. If you've already downloaded it, please delete it. Second, if you've seen reports from Norton WinDoctor that you need this file, they are wrong. It incorrectly reports that msvcr80 is missing when in fact it is correctly installed in the WinSxS directly in the windows. folder. If you own WinDoctor, you should report this bug to Symantec so that they get it fixed. Do NOT copy the this file to any of the folders WinDoctor recommends. If you've already attempted to take corrective action for this issue (by copying msvcr80.dll or msvcr80d.dll to ...\system32 or to the .NET Framework directory), please delete them. These files do not need to be copied around, and doing so may cause problems in future. In future, if you think you need a copy of this file, you should contact the publisher of the application that says it needs it. msvcr80 is not distributed centrally by Microsoft, but instead 'comes with' the applications you use. Most of you have probably downloaded the .NET Framework 2.0 which includes msvcr80, but triggers the false error report from Norton. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have more questions, as I don't read this forum regularly. Martyn Lovell Development Lead Visual C++ Libraries martynl@microsoft.com

Microsoft Express is not part of Office, so the Office repair is not going to fix it. It is installed as part of Internet Explorer.
Reinstall IE (or if running IE 6 upgrade to IE7) and that should resolve the issue.
