My PC runs Vista Premium 2007.
When I want to open a brand new page,it is ok, BUT double clicking an existing icon brings out a window saying:<<Windows cannot find "......doc" Make sure you typed the namecorrectly and then try again>> (Note: it doesn’t say<<docx>>!).
And it shows only the <frame>with some icons (but not all). This frame background is the usual blue colour.The <white> page, the one we work upon does not appear.
Then when I double click the icon I'vejust clicked before, the <white page> where we can work upon opens! Everytime!
My technician doesn't know why...Please, help!!! And remember to be specific please: I don't know computing thatwell!!! hahaha!
Tanks in advance!

Welcome,
I really dont know the cause, and neither does the technician that you worked with. I am willing to try and find out, though
Make a clean boot
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
If the problem does not occur, follow the clean boot procedure to find the cause.
If clean boot does not help, try with another browswer.

Just download Firefox. If it work, post and I will show you how to set it up so that is the one that you always use.
You can also try to repair Word

I doubt if a repair will work, however.
The very best advice that I can give you about the computer is not to do anything unless you feel confident. The advice that I gave is very simple and you may be able to get a friend to help. Its something so easy, you only have to give a thank you to your helper and nothing more.

Re: Double click... twice!
Hi!
I got to the point <e>->click OK and then click Restart.
It did not work... but I don't know how to continue witk step 2: Enable half of the services. (I don't understand it, and I feel uneasy continue! hahaha!
I undo what I did in the preceding steps and all is well...I mean, as before.
(Time is different: You are in US and I am in Brisbane, Australia: the time we sleep is different, but apparently it works fine!)

You disabled all services and still had the problem?

If disabling all did not work, clean boot is not the answer. Try the other suggestions.
