Split From: "Mac Outlook 2011 does not sync particular events with iCal"

I have tried to do the aforementioned solutions, but there are no files in my user/library/preferences folder titled

com.microsoft.Outlook.SyncServicesPreferences.plist

com.microsoft.SyncservicesAgent.plist

(There are lots of other files with the com., but not these)

Tried to run Office 2011 for Mac 14.2.3 update. 
Can't run it because it says the apps Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent are still open.  
How do I close them?
