That's right, I get this "System cannot find the file specified" (email attachments) or "[Program] cannot find [Path to File]" (opening files off the hard drive or anything else). What the heck is with this? It just started happening randomly last week, of course as I needed to print something for class this morning I'm frantically running a "Repair" install... I have run CHKDSK and found no errors.

And no, this isn't an opportunity to say "Switch to OpenOffice!" as I have my computing preferences just as everyone else has theirs.

outside of completely reinstalling it??

Did anything change recently on the machine? That is weird that the File->Open and it still give you errors..

Checked out that the rest of your components are behaving?

The ultimate boot CD has hard drive diagnostics programs on there, maybe give them a check out.

About two years ago I had this happen to our eMachines W2247 that had XP and Office. None of the Office programs could open anything. After a few weeks without notice the hard drive froze up and died.

hmmm, wasnt last week patch Tuesday???


Are you getting a locate link dialog box when you try to open a link or attachment in email?

Apparently this is not just me but a small group of people who were fine with Office one day, and the next it went and stopped opening any sort of file...

So you are using Vista with Office 2007? Did you try re registering word as suggested in the blog?

Yes, that does nothing...
