Error after installing updates to 14.2.2: MS Database Utility cannot rebuild database

Unfortunately, I completed all the updates through the MS AutoUpdater one after another this past Thursday evening without getting any message warning me of any potential consequences vis a vis the problems presented in this forum. I have spent many hours trying all of the methods that MS and others have posted related to installation of SP2, but have not seen any solutions related to the upgrade to 14.2.2.  I get the same message from the MS Database Utility that it cannot rebuild my database.  Any thoughts on the best method to get back all my contacts, calendar, messages, etc. as quickly as possible?  Should I uninstall Office for Mac 2011 altogether and then re-install? How do I go about uninstalling everything without losing my Outlook database??
