    Right click on any .doc file while pressing the shift key then go to
    "open with" browse for microsoft office word 2007 and check "Always use
    this program ..."

    I'm having a similar problem. When I click on a .doc or .docx file on
    the desktop or in my documents and I browse to WINWORD to open the file,
    it jumps back to select a file-type and doesn't show word in the file
    list. I can open these files if I first open word and use the folder
    icon to navigate to the file.
    Any thoughts?

    If repairing Word installation does not help, try:

    Registering programs with the "Open With" dialog:
    http://windowsxp.mvps.org/openwithadd.htm

    Winword.exe is located at:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE

    WTF are you talking about?

    The subject describes the OP's problem. The problem fix was correctly
    described in another post the same day (THREE MONTHS AGO).

    Then along come you with that gibberish.

    I am facing a bit odd issue while opening .doc file having microsoft
    office 2007 being installed in my PC. It throws error saying that
    "*There is no enough memory or disk space to run Outlook*"

    I am not sure if this is a valid error message because my system is not
    ran out of memory space or whatever. I can open the .doc file by opening
    Word seperately and with 'Open' file option. It opens with
    'Compatibility Mode'

    Run Office or Word, Diagnostics
    If you are opening the doc from explorer it sounds like the file
    associations are wrong

    What is your virtual page-file size on the hard drive? Maybe, it's too
    small and you need to adjust it. I like to set page-file size to be
    automaticlly control by the O/S, so that it gets the virtual memory
    space as needed.

    My virtual memory is default set as system managed. But I have still set
    it under custom setting and allocated the size as 5371 MB. But still no
    results and encountering the same problem :-(

    What might have gone wrong??

    I guess the answer was to set Virtual Memory. I did that but still it is
    not working and I am not able to open .doc files.

    any suggestions?

    Your File Association is not set for *.doc and until you set it will not work.
    Nothing at all to do with Virtual Memory.
    Set the association and period...
