Windows update problem

What happens if you start Word 2007 then go FILE - OPEN and browse to one of your Word documents?

I would guess that Windows has changed the file association so that if you double click on a file its going elsewhere.

I agree, see post 7.

This works.

A bit of a pain mind.

Thanks for the advice, I am reading it, and off next week, so will have more time to throw the computer around try things

My computer did another update, and now all my MS word files are fine,

I wonder now if there might have been a flaw, that they picked up on and rectified.

Either way, I have backed up everything now on my computer, in case computer is dying.

First time I've tried to use my printer too since update.

That doesn't work now either.

Should I buy a new printer as well as a new computer?

It's a con, update things to make us buy new things. Everything worked fine, it then updates my computer and suddenly I have to buy new everything?!
