Error 1920. Service 'Windows Font Cache Service' (FontCache) failed to start

Hi,

I've been trying for weeks now to try to get Office Professional Plus 2013 to install on Windows 8 Pro. My system has been running perfectly otherwise.

When I try to install Office 2013, I get the following message (excerpt from log file):

2012/11/27 22:26:30:885::[4576] MSI(ACTIONSTART): 'Action 22:26:30: StartServices. Starting services'

I have tried everything I can think of, and everything on every thread I've found on related topics. No luck. If I try to start the service myself via services.msc I get the following message:

The Windows Font Cache Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some Services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!
