    error opening a word doc.. please help


    i have a file thats a docx file from microsoft. it has some important stuff, i dont remember locking it or anything, how can i get in there, is there a place to put in a password.

    there are two images, first one shows where it sits on my secondary hard drive, and the other picture is what happens if i try and move to a different location.

    i promise this file is mine, i just reinstalled windows today to a newer version.

    please help and thanks

    Simple permission problem. right click file and "take ownership". May have to do that in safe mode (F8)

    From the pics it looks like you haven't installed an Office application. if you do not have paid ms office i would advise to use open office. Once you have installed office application. it should work

    You can download open office from the following link:
    download: OpenOffice.org Downloads
