HI
Whenever I try to open a .doc in an email attachment in either Hotmail or Windows Mail I get.

-File does not have a program associated with it for performing this action create an association in the set associations control panel.-

When I go to Vista control panel associate a file type .doc is already associated with Word.

Advise please

Brian Stanbridge

The problem may be that as you are using Vista as os, you will have on board Word 2007 which saves it's .doc files as .docx, and may not recognise a .doc file for what it is.

You need a .doc to .docx converter such as the Microsoft OMPN (office migration planning manager) which you can download free from http://microsoft.com/office/ork
