I am running Office Pro Plus 2013 x32 on Windows 8.1 x64. This started after reinstalling my computer where Lync was working fine previously so I am deducing it is related to a driver issue.

Ideas I have tried include:

• Uninstall and reinstall Lync
• Repair of Lync
• Remove Office 2013 and reinstall
• Installed all updates
• Removing, reinstalling, reverting and updating the following the drivers audio, video and Bluetooth with no success.
• I removed Lync duplicate updates from control panel --> Programs and Features.
• Renaming the SIP folder in %APPDATA%\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync

The event viewer event is as follows.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?
