Whenever I double-click a Word doc from within Explorer, Word opens
and says it could not load the document, as if it could not find it.

1. I can always open the document from within Word.

2. And here is something I just found out: I just closed Word and
attempted to open the document again from within Explorer, and the
document opened without a problem.

Running Word 2007 SP2 on Vista HP SP1.


I (just) checked the Event Viewer to see if it recorded the problem,
and could find nothing...amazing, since it seems almost every mouse
movement and keyclick is logged.

Have you tried running Microsoft Office Diagnostics ?

Start All Programs Microsoft Office Microsoft Office Tools
Microsoft Office Diagnostics .


========================
Microsoft Office Diagnostics:

No cause found.

The diagnostics tests found no problems. Click Continue to connect to
Microsoft's servers and view recommended next steps.

Summary of results:

Diagnostics run: 5
Diagnostics that identified problems: 0
Diagnostics that took corrective action: 0
=========================

There was something about my not downloading a file periodically,
information from the web site after clicking Continue, so I set up the
option to allow the download. I have to wait a week or so (it said) before
running the diagnostics program again.


Curiously while this diagnostics was running, TWO applications crashed
during the memory diagnostic check:

1. Firefox, and the diagnostic reported it wanted to close the application
too. I believe it complained of a low memory condition too.

2. uTorrent: its crash was not explained
