Cannot open attachments...

[Mikey]

Outlook 2003, running on 64 bit Vista Business Edition.
When trying to open a Word or Excel attachment, I am getting the
message "the specified file cannot be found'.
If I save the attachment to the desktop & double-click, I get the same
message, but if go to File>Open, it will open.
This just started recently, too.
PDFs will open fine, though.
I tried deleting all the temp files & running check disk, but no help.
Any suggestions?

This appears to be a problem with the file type association for those file
types. Try repairing that.

I have tried re-doing the file association...
