[omsoft]

locast installed Office 2007 on a new WIndows 7 machine. The installation
went through without error. But now I cannot open any of the Office 2003
files. The error I get is as below. The files are on a local drive and not
read only.

Excel cannot open the file <filename>. The document may be read-only or
corrupted.

<filename> cannot be accessed. THe file may be corrupted, located on a
server that is not responding or read only.

Please help.
Thanks much.
