Word 2003 Error

A

Alan Whitehouse

Hi,

The problem I have is 2 fold but I believe releated. Both of these occur
when Word is not already running. Here are the situations:

1. When I double-click a Word document attached to an Outlook e-mail, Word
opens up, but the document will not open with it nor is there a blank
document showing. When I alt-tab back to Outlook I seen an error message
with an OK button stating "The system cannot find the file specified". If
Word is already running then the document opens fine.

2. When I double-click a Word document anywhere else on my system, Word
opens up, but the document will not open with it nor is there a blank
document showing. I receive no error messages. If Word is already running
then the document opens fine.

I also have Excel and PowerPoint 2003 installed but they are working fine.

Any thoughts as to what is happening here?

Unfortunately that didn't seem to work. Also I got an error during the
registration stating:

Error 1911. Setup cannot register type library for file C:\Program
Files\Microosft Visual Studio\Common\IDE\IDE98\ASP.TLB. Contact your
Information Technology department for assistance.


Any other ideas?
