I've been living with this problem for at least 6 months and now I'm
starting to doubt that it was ever a problem with Word. I'm almost
certain it was. I am able to open any Word file in any location. Other
files (*.pdf, *.txt, *.html, etc) never had a problem. Still no love
for excel, I assumed the problem was with the Office install.

I did do a repair of Office a couple weeks ago, which took about 30
minutes. It didn't help. Thanks for your help. Is it worth doing a
complete uninstall and reinstall? I don't know how helpful that would
be since some file would remain in place (like my Outlook *.pst files)
and I assume some registry entries.

Hey all,

The problem is caused by the MS Outlook Business Contact Manager plugin
for word.

Open Registry (start - Run - "regedit") browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\ Addins and (make sure
to backup the key before deleting) delete the
"BcmHistoryAddin.BcmConnect" folder. (aka "FriendlyName"="Business
Contact Manager for Outlook").

This fixed the problem for me. (Verified by adding the key back to the
reg and the problem came back, deleted again and the problem went
away.)

Good luck!

I had the same issues. I finally reformatted my hard drive, for the
third time since December 2008.

HOWEVER, I tried this software that promised to fix my issues "Windows
can't find file fix" and it did NOTHING - the error messages were
exactly the same after installing the software, then before installing
the software.

The company PROMISES your money back, if the software doesn't work -
but the company, Security Stronghold, is intent on keeping their fee -
no matter that I am NOT using their software, it is NOT installed on my
computer and I am obvioulsy unhappy with their program and services.

I sent them a message immediately after realizing the software did not
work, and after a week, and my 3rd request for a refund, they responded.
By then, I had installed the "Free" True Sword software, hoping it
might fix my issue, and all it did was screw up my SQL Server. THAT led
me to reformatting my hard drive...

Needless to say, because I didn't get their permission to remove their
software - I am not entitle to a refund.

The point of this story is, stick with Microsoft. They will have a fix
for their issues eventually - you just have to find it. Third party
companies promising to be "experts" in Microsoft errors are sometimes
just scams, like Security Stronghold.

Thank you! This exactly fixes my problem. This whole "Windows cannot find
file..." keeps recurring whenever my Windows receives updates, and so I have
had to do this a couple of times.

I get the error message when double clicing on misc documents within my

the file and opening it that way.

It is extremely random though. It only happens on some of the files. It
happens on older version files (office 2003) and newer version files created
(2007). I can right mouse click the file and specify open with and open the
file with the program that it needs to run it but this is random as well.

I have reinstalled Vista (brand new) pc for the second time trying to fix
this problem and it will not go away. It is driving me crazy!

I have looked all over the web and these dicussions and nobody has ever a
succesful fix for this problem. I am not alone......

I have also unstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 three times. Also
performed repair function. Activation codes all gone now..... I have tried
everything that I have read in previous threads to no avail.
