Have you tried opening each of the apps by using their
icon. Do this first because a small install is run to
create the hkey current user section of the registry.
then try double clicking the docs.

I have the same problem with old Word files and get the following error when opening Excel files:
The file cannot be opened because your virus scanner has detected a problem with the file. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no success.

I have tried that option, and no different. I do also get the same error as the post above me with the Excel documents. Then on top of it I get warning when I shut down Word that states changes have been made to the template normal and trys to make me save the changes. Any one have any other ideas???????????????

Default Office 2003 will not read past files?--Found an Answer

I have found an answer: If you have Norton Anti Virus installed search in files and folders for a file named OFFICEAV.DLL and rename it to OFFICEAV.old and restart you computer. it should work for anyone else that has a problem.
