Instructions for Windows Vista (also applies to Windows 2000/XP)
1. Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER:
2. Navigate to the following key and back up the key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Word.Document.8 \ shell \ Open \ ddeexec
3. Right-click the ddeexec key and choose Delete. Click Yes to confirm.
4. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Word.Document.8 \ shell \ Open \ command
5. Double-click (default) and set its value data to:
For Word 2003
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\WINWORD.EXE" /n "%1"
For Word 2007
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" /n "%1"

Instructions for Windows XP
In Windows XP, you can use the Folder Options applet to disable DDE for a file type action. Here are the instructions:
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Click Tools, Folder Options, select the File Types tab.
3. Select .DOC file type from the list
4. Click Advanced
5. Select open and click Edit
6. Uncheck Use DDE checkbox and click OK.
7. Click OK, OK.
If that above does not help, check if one of the Office Add-ins is causing the error.
Hope that helps..
Re: Messages of "Make sure you typed the name correctly"
Your solution did not work. What i have found is this:
When attempting to open a file I double click that file. I then receive the error but, Office 7 opens.
If you drag the file into Office 7, the file opens.
This may not be the solution, but its damn sure a great band-aid!

Oh. Another response. They are almost as good as the
egghead ones.
