When I double click on a doc or docx file, Word 2007 launches but no documents are shown. When I close Word, I get an error message "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." But, when I launch Word 07', it launches fine and gives a blank document to type on. Has anyone seen/experience this problem and have solve it? What's the trick besides un-installing Office 2007? TIA.

If you open Word 07 by itself then try to open the *.doc file, does it open properly? If not, open any folder (my computer if you want) then go to Tools>>Folder Options>>File Types(tab)>>(type in "DOC" and it should bring you to that file extention) once there, click on "Advanced". Under the "Actions" section, double click ok "Open" (should be in bold). Once there, make sure all these settings are the same. ----------------- Action: &Open Application used to perform action: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.exe" /n /dde Use DDE (checked) DDE Message: [REM _DDE_Direct][FileOpen("%1")] Application: WinWord DDE Application Not Running: (blank) Topic: System ----------------- This is the settings I have and it works for me. As for the closing error message, I have no clue. Let us know.
