2.The System cannot find the file specified

I get this message when ever I open a word document and Microsoft word is not 
running.  The document will open once Word is running.  I hope I make sense.  
I am running Office 2003 but for some reason the older icons still show on my 
desk top.  Is there any help out there?

3."The system cannot find the file specified"

I recently started getting an annoying error when trying to open Word 
attachments from Outlook 2007 e-mails or from Windows Explorer. This only 
happens when Word is not actively opened when I double-click the filename. It 
does not happen with Excel, PowerPoint, Acrobat, or other applications.

In each case, I double click the file name, Word opens and then I get an 
error message in the original application (Outlook or Explorer):

In Outlook, I get the error: "The system cannot find the file specified"
In Explorer, I get the errror: "Windows cannot find '[path/filename]'. Make 
sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

In all cases, if I close the error box and then try re-opening the file (now 
that Word has launched), the file opens.

If it matters, I run AVG as my antivirus.

This error just started in the last week. It's annoying, since my job causes 
me to open numerous attachments throughout the day. Can you help fix this?

4.Vista Explorer cannot find Word 2007 file - important problem

Hi, I have Vista and Office 2007, and have a problem that's been reported a 
few times on the Net, but without resolution.

When I click a Word file in Explorer, Word starts up but I get the error 
message 'Window cannot find [pathname/documents/filename.doc]. Make sure you 
have typed the name correctly and try again.'

The pathname is correct; the default file location in Word options is 
correct, pointing to my Documents folder.

Once Word starts, if I click again on the file it opens. If I open Word 
first, I can open the file through File->Open. If I click any Excel or htm 
file in Explorer etc., they open OK. It's just Word that causes the problem.

All my file and program associations look correct. Winword is the default 
program for .doc and .docx. The problem occurs for both. I don't have Word 
2003 installed. I have reinstalled Office 2007.

So I've tried all I can think of, but this incredibly annoying problem 
persists, and I'd be grateful for help.

Thanks,
David
