The .docx files would not open on Word 2007. You have selected the path File> Open and still you are not able to open it on Vista Home Premium. In order to check if there is an internal problem while running the Word 2007, change the Program Default and after doing this see if the .docx files open or not.
In case, the .docx files still do not open, then, it’s a simple case where the Windows association between .docx and Word 2007 has been broken. To correct this, you can reinstall Word 2007 and then try to open the .docx files.
Even if this doesn’t help, then there is one more thing you can do resolve this problem. Rename the extension of one of the .docx files to .zip and then open the .zip file in ZIP Editor. Upon opening the Zip Editor you should see a number of compressed .xml files with the .docx extension. If the .xml files do not show up, then this is a clear case of corruption.
Once it is clear that MS Word files have been corrupted, you need to look to solutions to get back the corrupted files. To recover the corrupted files, you can run a Word Repair Software. A Word Recovery Software scans the MS Word and looks for the corrupted Word files. It then repairs and recovers the corrupted Word files, thereby converting them into their original format.
The advantage of using a Word Recovery Software is that it recovers Word files on corrupted media like floppies, CDs, Zip Disks, CDROMs and so on. It repairs and restores the corrupted Word document in all cases of corruption like virus attack, unexpected system shutdown, application faults and media read error.
The Word Recovery Software is generally compatible with all versions of MS Word – Word 2000, 2003, 2002 and 2007. It can easily run on various Operating Systems including Windows, Macintosh, Novell and Linux.
