Default .doc files not asssociated with Word 2007

After I upgraded to Office 2007, when I try to open a .doc file by clicking
that particular file, or from an email attachment, it is not recognized as a
word file. When I click on the file directly, it brings up a window to
assign a program for that file and the only option it lists is notepad. When
I click on an email attachment it says " Application Not Found". However if
I open word first, then use FileOpen, I can open the file fine. How do I
get Word to automatically open the file or email attachments?
