Default Can't open works document after it has been saved in Windows Vista

Everytime I tried to open a Works document (.doc) it tells me that I need a
file converter. It was working 3 days ago.

Hi,

A MS Works file extension is .wks not .doc
A .doc extension is a Word document 2003 or earlier.

See if something here can help you...

If not and this only started happening a few days ago then try System
Restore.
