Never a problem before, but I'm using Office 2003 on Windows XP Professional.
I try opening saved files and I get an error message, "(filename.doc) is not
available."

I've opened and saved a new document, but can't open it after it's saved and
closed in MS Word. I can save the file to a flash drive and open it on
another PC.

I've tried uninstalling Office and reinstalling it.

Any other ideas?

First see how to re-register Word when problems crop up opening files
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm and if that doesn't
fix it select a document in Windows Explorer, right click and choose Open
with...

From the ensuing dialog select Word (winword.exe) and check the box to
always open with this application.
