Error while opening .doc file TDesai 12/21/2008 12:53:00 AM Hi, I have WIndows Vista Home , and MS Office 2007 installed. I defragmented my PC and then I am having issue with opening .doc file. It gives me below error : "Windows canot find '.doc'. Make sure you typed name correctly, and then try again" I have recently installed an Anti-Virus, but I 'Disabled' it and tried opening .doc, but same error. I even uninstalled MS Office and re-installed but same. All rescent updated from MS has been installed till date. Thanks in Advance.

Re: Error while opening .doc file "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 12/21/2008 11:06:38 AM I've just answered an absolutely identical question like this... There are several possible reasons for this but the solution NEVER includes uninstalling and reinstalling Office. First, the simple possible solution is to reregister Word. From Start, Run, type in winword /r and press enter. Test again now. If that fails continue with the next. It may be an incompatible third party add-in causing the problem (very common). You need to ID the add-in and then remove it. You may be able to get an update that is compatible from the provider of the add-in. See how to find add-ins http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CheckIfAddinsInstalled.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011514521033.aspx It may be a plug-in that is part of your Anti Virus. You should disable any Office plug-in if your AV has one and test again. Finally, it may be a corrupt registry. You need to run Regedit and navigate to the Word Data Key and delete. Word will recreate a new Data Key when it is next started.

Re: Error while opening .doc file "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 12/21/2008 5:14:34 PM There definitely is a DATA key. Did you substitute Version number with Version 12.0 (for Word 2007)? Are you sure you have checked properly that you don't have any add-ins. They are far more likely to be the problem.

Re: Error while opening .doc file Nathan Hopper 12/28/2008 4:46:01 PM When I am in REGEDIT, there are versions 9.0, 8.0, 12.0. There is a Word folder in 9.0 and 12.0, there is only a DATA key in version 9.0. When I check the add ins in word, I am not sure what I should be looking for. In the COM Add-Ins there is a PayPalWordAddin, but I don't know if that is what I should be looking for, and Word won't let me remove it.
