Word cannot open document C:\Documents And Settings

This only happens if I click a document to open word. Not if I click word and open the document from there.

I get an information box saying:
Microsoft Word
Word cannot open the document.
Try one or more of the following:
On file menu, click open the open the document.
Make sure the document has a .doc extension
(C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS....

This is followed by 2 more error notices that read the same but have different locations.
Microsoft Word
The document name or path is not valid.
Try one of the following:
Check th path to make sure it was typed correctly.
On the file menu, click open. Search for the file using this dialog box.......

When I click on the above 2 error notices, it finally opens the document I clicked on originally and works flawlessly.

Microsoft Word has worked perfectly since I purchased this computer (E Machines) in 2003. I don't have a clue what is wrong. Thanks.
