Hi all
Problem: Windows 2000 laptop with two different profiles set up on it: one is administrator that is used primarily for dialup at home, and the other is a network profile used on a network domain at the office. If I log onto the network and then go into the administrator profile, documents open with MS Word--no problem. If I log onto the administrator profile and try to open the same documents, not only are they not showing up as Word documents they will not open. They do still have .doc as their file extension. A box comes open that says: Windows cannot find mxpaint.exe. This program is needed for opening files of type 'DOC File'. I have never heard of mxpaint (clarification--not mspaint.exe--MXPAINT.EXE). I have looked online for any information and have come up with nothing. I discussed it with the other computer techs I work with and have since run a full virus scan, which came up clean, and cleaned off spyware. I have reinstalled MS Office 2K Pro. If I right click on the documents and go to 'open with' I can still open them using MS Word. I have tried renaming the docs as old and then resaving them, but they still do not save as MS Word docs while logged onto the administrator profile, but do still have .doc as their file extension. I'm scratching my head. Anybody seen or heard of this before because it's a new one on me. Thanks!
