I heard about not bad application-repair word 2007 files, can try to open your report in Microsoft Word format, that you have been preparing for a week, but in vain,tool can recover your data from corrupted *.doc files, located on corrupted media: floppy and CD disks, flash and zip drives, etc,can work with .doc, .docx, .dot and .dotx files and with any version of Microsoft Word text editor.

Yes - having same problem as of a few days ago. Brought the machine to a fragmented HALT - it couldn't do anything except run IE7/web browsers.
On my backup machine right now while it is in for repair, and am thankful for this blog/post. Going to try it -

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Thanks to you my Word 2007 is fixed. It was crazy. I ran several virus scanners and spyware terminators but with no results. It was just all of a sudden I could not open a document from a website into Word. Then Word started crashing when I tryed to close it. then the functionality in Word started to go peice by piece. Anyway it is working just fine now. Again Thank you!

Thanks very much for all your work in tracking this down and posting this -- it solved my problem!
I too had this problem after installing SP1. But I believe it actually started happening after Office SP1, which was a few days after Vista SP1 was successfully installed without hurting anything.
The behavior I saw was that Word would not open files by double-clicking on them. The program would open, but the file would not be displayed. If I then used the Open command, I could open a file. However, I could not use scroll bars, and all but the most basic options were disabled. When I closed Word, it would crash every time.
I opened regedit and went to the key you described, but instead of deleting the whole folder I decided to try just deleting the Settings key, leaving the SettingsWordMail and Toolbars keys intact. Voila! Double clicking on files now opens them, I can scroll again, and Word does not crash on exit.

I have exactly the same problem but do not have that registry key. Any suggestions? PLUS my HP printernow does not work. I have to re-install it every day. I have had tech support from Microsoft and HP but all they do is get me to download and re-install patches and updates that just waste my very valuable time! Thanks, Emmbee

I would recommend the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy to anyone. I spent a lot of time searching for a good scanner at an affordable price. I tired many different ones before I found Search-and-destroy Antispyware but when I tired it I was very happy with the results. I would recommend the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy to anyone searching for a great scan that works just as well as Norton and many of the others that you would pay more for. Visit http://www.Search-and-destroy.com to find out more and to give this scan a try just like I did. I’m sure you will love it as much as I do.
