After I upgraded to Office 2007, when I try to open a .doc file by clicking that particular file, or from an email attachment, it is not recognized as a word file. When I click on the file directly, it brings up a window to assign a program for that file and the only option it lists is notepad. When I click on an email attachment it says " Application Not Found". However if I open word first, then use File>Open, I can open the file fine. How do I get Word to automatically open the file or email attachments?

Right-click on a doc file, choose "Open With", make sure the box at the bottom "Always open with...." is checked and browse to Word 2007.

From Start, Run, type in
winword /r
to make sure that Word is correctly registered in Windows. If the documents still don't open, then it suggests a third party add-in or AntiVirus is preventing the correct action. If you have Kapersky, go to their support site and download the fix.
If you don't have Kapersky, then it may be a bad thirds party legacy add-in causing this. You will need to ID and remove or update the add-in.

It has to be AV or an incompatible add-in. I don't know of any other reason for double-clicking not to work correctly. NAV is another AV that causes the same bug: just disable the Office Plug-in in NAV.
