Anybody knows why vista doesnt want to open doc files, saying it`s corrupt?
Eg: I cant open a .doc e-mail attachment in my mailbox. WHY? It would be so
elemental...:( Thank you very much for the help!
 
You need to have a program on your computer that can see a file with the
..doc extension (Microsoft Word - latest version to be certain that you can
see files sent to you that were created with Word 2007).

You can also install the free Word Viewer from Microsoft, available here:

You can also install Open Office which will allow you to view the .doc
format files, available here:

TNX Rich! Its sort of workin now. The thing is that I got MS Works with Vista
in my new laptop. Now that I downloaded Word Viewer, the MS Works opens the
..doc files, too, horever it transforms it immediately into .wks format. So I
just dont save it after closing I guess.
