Default Problem Opening Certain Files in Word

Hi all,

I am running Office 2007 on Vista. Everything was working fine then recently I have discovered that when I try to open a file that was created by Word 2007 I get an error message which says "windows could not open x.doc, please make sure you typed the name correctly and try again". If I then double click the same file immediately, it opens. This does not happen with files created in previous versions of word, they open as normal. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to PCHF

The Detect and Repair feature that was included with Microsoft Office 2003 has been replaced in the 2007 Microsoft Office system with Microsoft Office Diagnostics. This new tool provides more comprehensive testing and repair capabilities.
Run Microsoft Office Diagnostics
