Default Files will not open on double click in word 2007

Try running winword /r (from the Run dialog box). This should fix any file
association problems.

I have office 2007 installed on two macchines. It works well on one and not
the other. It is very slow to respond (this is on a new computer, very
fast)
but the main problem is with will not open a doc or docx file when you
double
click on it. It will launch word but not open the file. If i minimize word
and double click a second time it will then open the file.
Also if i double click on a word doc attachment in an email i get "File
is
not located on this machine" error.
As I said, it works fine on my laptop which is much older. This
installation
was an upgrade from office 2003. Anyone have any ideas as to how i correct
this as it sure slows down the work.
