    can't double click to open word documents


    I can't open word documents by double clicking the document file. When i do this, i get an error message 'not enough memory or disk space to run outlook' (although i am not trying to open outlook!)

    The only way i can open documents is to open word 2007 and then open documents through there.
    the file associations are all set to word.

    This problem started because i could not choose word as my default programme for docx files. i changed the programme file name from WINWORD.EXE. to WORD.EXE. and i managed to set the default programme as word, but now i have this problem.

    Have you gone into the Control Panel's Default Programs menu and made sure that Word has all of the required defaults?

    Control Panel (All Items) > Default Programs > Set your default programs

    If that doesn't help, you can set the default for a particular program through the file associations menu.

    Control Panel (All Items) > Default Programs > Set Associations

    That should atleast allow you to cause .doc, .docx and all other Word related file types to open in Word 2007.
