I get a "Not Responding" error message when I try to open a Word document. I
can open .doc files if I go through "My Documents" folder. However, if I try
to make changes to the file, the same error message appears. This problem is
carrying over to Outlook, where I can't attach .doc files to emails. This
problem just appeared in the last week.

Any help would be appreciated

See "Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install
security update MS06-015"

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918165 "Problems in Windows
Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security update
MS06-015".

If you aren't comfortable with editing the Windows registry
yourself, then go to
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll
down to Item No. 383 "Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software -
Fix". Download and run the script to automatically modify your
registry as described in KB918165. You may need to temporarily
disable your antivirus program in order to run the script.

It is anticipated that Microsoft will release a revised version
of the MS06-015 update on Tuesday, April 25.
