my files are unavailable, why?

[800smith]

I recently installed msoffice2003 on my standalone desktop, and now I can't
open existing files.
Is there some area to start isolating to get it fixed?

What happens when you try?

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See

programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.
