Default Can't open documents. Get "file not available"

I have both Office 2003 and Office 2007 (just installed), but every time I
try to open a document (even a brand new saved document), I get the message
"xxxx file is not available." This happens with word docs and publisher docs.
I uninstalled my older version of Norton AntiVirus software (corporate
edition), but that hasn't solved the problem. I am not on a network. I
recently installed Google Desktop. Could that have anything to do with it?

It shouldn't but you could try uninstalling it and see if the problem is
resolved.

Never mind. I deleted the officeav.dll file which I read about in a post from
2005 and it seemed to work. Thanks anyway!
