Well, back to grasping at straws, have you tried a Registry Cleaner?
Just anecdotally, as a certified non-expert, I found Registry First Aid
to be helpful without doing too much, and System Mechanic to be both
helpful and dangerous because it did do too much.
Another thought - have you tried running the Secunia Software
Inspector? http://secunia.com/software_inspector/ Maybe it will find
something missing.

If you have the data backed up, you should be able to install 2006 to a
clean system (one that never had ACT! Installed on it) and then import the
data, assuming that v. 2008 didn't convert the data to a new format (table
structures, attributes, etc.).
Disclaimer: I don't have any experience with ACT!, but this is what I
would
try. Also, the few times I've needed to call MS's support, it was very
good. In one instance, we discovered a bug and they refunded the $245 fee
to us.
Considering how Sage has left you holding the bag, I would consider
another
product, if possible.

We use the premium for work groups (5+ people) and 2008 has some nice
features, but 2006 works fine and I didn't see enough of a benefit to
warrant a $1500 expense at the moment.
I did try reinstalling 2008. I get part way through to where it asks to
install SQL and then crashes
