Unable to open .DOC file. FILE DOWNLOAD box appears
Got a new pc a few months back with Vista home premium. Transferred files
from old pc, was able to open old documents ok. But now when I try to open any .doc file (including those recently created from email attachments) I get the "file download" box and when I click "open" the box just pops back up again. Can open files created with Works and other programs ok. (Sometimes when I am doing this I get the "Windows Explorer wants to close" message.) I have the disc to upgrade to Windows 7 which I assume will fix the problem. Any suggestions for a quick fix in the meantime? |

See if the information in the article "How to re-register Word when problems
crop up opening files€¯ at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...gisterWord.htm overcomes the problem. -- Hope this helps.
