Can no longer open Microsoft Office Document Image Writer files

[Baris1]

Hello,

I didn't see this anywhere here, so I'm posting...........

I was using Windows Live One care trial for the past week. Two days ag
when I turned on my computer (Windows XP, sp2) the .mdi files would no
open. I print documents frequently with the Microsoft Office Documen
Image Writer to my desktop, document files, etc. These files won't ope
anymore. The Microsoft Office Document Image Writer is still listed i
the printers/fax folder, so I'm not sure what has happened. I read on
forum that One Care in addition to slowing down computer performanc
also has issues with MS Word. Not sure what to do, I just need to vie
my files. Any help is appreciated................

I have lost mine too. It seems to be something to do with an update that has
come through. If I do a system restore back to a couple of weeks ago it comes
back but as soon as my system downloads updates again it disappears!
I have left posting for help but nothing so far. I have tried following the
suggestions in other postings but they don' work.

How about you give us more than the barest details? What for example, does
"can no longer open" MEAN? What happens when you try?
Remember, no-one here can see your machine.
Also remember that the "forum" you are posting in leaches off the MS News
server, so please use Usenet etiquette in your posts by quoting the post you
reply to, reply to the thread, and don't change the subject line.

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. Please excuse my inexperience using thi
forum. Whenever I clicked on one of the .mdi files, a window opene
stating that Windows cannot open the file. I have played around wit
this and figured out that somehow when i was using Windows One Care i
for lack of a better word unassigned these files that were previousl
assigned or associated with Microsoft Office Document Imaging. I simpl
checked that this files be opened by Microsoft Office Document Imaging


I know this isnt in your tech savvy language but I just wanted to than
you all on this site, because I wouldn't have figured it out myself
