Can't open doc file from Mail

T60 bought with Vista installed. I insta;lled Office 2003 and then upgraded
to office 2007.

When I try to open a .doc file in Windows Mail msg says to set association
in the control panel, which is already done. If I change the assocation to
Wordpad then Wordpad launches. Changing back to Word gets the "no
association" message again. Saving the .doc file to disk and then clicking
on it works fine.

No problem opening .xls, .ppt, .pdf files from within Mail.

I had the same problem. Try this: right click on the attachment - "Save All"
and put in a new folder/file in the Documents Folder. It should then open as
normal. Not sure how this came about - but it works!

Fixed after a T60 bios update. I can't for the life of me think how that
would do it.
