I open microsoft word 2007 on Vista, and go to open any files and it always pops up "The File (file name) is not available" so i cannot access any of my files or any homework files online, nothing will open. if anyone has any hints or comments they would be greatly appreciated.

they are .docx files and any way i try to open them the same exact window comes up that "The File (file name) is not available"

i already tried that but i will try again and see if anything happens.

Hmm, so it is a Vista problem. What is the error code you get with this message. It would also be useful to know which process issues this message. You check that with Process Explorer. Drag the rightmost Icon on top of the Process Explorer window (the one to the right of the binoculars) over the error message. PE will highlight the process in question in blue. If you hover over the process name, you usually get more detailed information regarding the process.
