Default Word docs won't open

Insert the original Office installation disc. Run setup and repair the
installation. This should make the same registry changes that re-registering
applies.

Graham,

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I entered the
information as specified on the weblink you gave me. It said it was
registering Office Ultimate...never made any progress after approx. 5
minutes so i closed the window. Is this the only solution?
Reregistering the office product? They do open if I open word and go
to file/open/select the .doc or .docx file
