Error Message "valid win32 application"

[Neil]

I run Windows Vista and have recently purchase and installed Microsoft Office
2007. When I try to open files that I know to have been created in standard
Office applications, and in this particular instance Word, I get an error
message that the file is "not a valid WIn 32 application".
I can however open Word 2007 application and then open the file and this
works, however it's a pain in the ____ and I don;t want to do it like that -
I want to double click on the file name straight from my data stick etc and
be magically transported to my proffessors next exciting assignment (honest)
