Windows XP cannot open the Windows documents

I want to activate the e-mail account Windows XP from my husband open the documents and Excel files created by newer versions of Windows.  Is there a way to do this?

If you make reference to documents created with Office 2007 applications or Office 2010 (Word, Excel), you need the free viewer (if you don't have any version of Word or Excel) or the free compatibility pack (if you do not have Word and Excel).
Compatibility Pack for use with Office XP, Office 2000 and Office 2003 (allows editing/viewing of files Office 2007/2010)

Word Viewer (point of view but not modify files Word 2007/2010)

Excel viewer (point of view but not modify files Excel 2007/2010)

More information (viewers for other office applications)

  • Cannot open the XPS Documents in Vista 64-bit

    I have Windows 64 - bit Vista Home Premium installed on my computer.

    I need to access an XPS document that an employee sent as an attachment, but the file is asking me to choose an application, even when the XPS Viewer is defined as the default opening program.

    I already double checked that the XPS Viewer is active.

    I've been on this site,

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/967190

    The site reportedly has a fix for 64-bit with this problem, but the problem seems to be specific for .net 3.5 SP1. My computer says I have .net 3.0 SP2, that article mentions. The article, however, does not seem to indicate that the fix will work for 3.0 SP2. It seemed unclear to me on this issue

    So, two questions:

    If I have installed the fix, it works in SP2, or just the SP1,

    Is it still my problem first?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

    If you do not. NEt Framework 3.5 SP1 installed, the patch at this link does not work and you said that you only. NEt 3.0 SP2.  You need to install .NET framework 3.5 SP1 before you can try this difficulty.  Here is the download site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&DisplayLang=en.  Simply follow the instructions and to do it properly.

    Once you have. NEt Framework 3.5 SP1 installed and running, you can then try the fix that you posted in this link to fix the problem with the opening of XPS documents.

    Frankly, I don't know if this is your problem or the fix will fix it (but it might).  It coud be a problem with the e-mail program (what name and version you use)?  It could also bee a problem with Excel.

    For any other question about Excrl issues, please post in the Excel section of the Office of the Discussion Group at: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.excel.misc&lang=en&cr=US where experts in Excel will be more than happy to help you with your problems.

  • Cannot open the keynote document?

    For some reason I can't open some keynote documents. They appear as gray while others can I open black. No idea why this is happening?

    Thank you

    Chris

    The usual reason for this is that they are not the Keynote files, so Keynote can't open them.

    Your screenshot, they look like text documents.

    To see what they contain, go to the folder of documents using the Finder and double-click the files and they will be opened in the respective applications out there.

  • I get a message saying "Windows cannot open the file...". »

    I had a lot of problems with infections, so I was running many scanning programs.

    After getting my computer almost completely cleaned, I ran the Super Anti-Spyware program.  We find 3 infections, which I'd delete (I don't have no way of knowing that I removed).

    Since then, whenever I try to open a program, or even Windows Update, etc., I get a message saying:

    "Windows cannot open the file.  To open this file, Windows needs to know what kind of program has created.  Windows can go online to search automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs.

    When I go on the web, I get a lot of options, which are almost free scans that then charge for fixing.  I am also very scared that I can also get another infection from these sites.

    I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    StanEp

    Yes, each method is a set of measures to try and then go ahead and try each one separate.

    2 method will reset the executable (.exe) extension that will allow you to open programs. It is not clear what exactly you are trying to open so that it can have no effect.

    Keep in mind that the damage caused by malware can be irreversible, in the case of relocations are necessary.

  • Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

    I tried running Outlook.exe / resetnavpane because I see it worked for a ton of people - but I got the error message "cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.  The command line argument is not valid.  Check the switch you are using.

    This is almost always due to:

    1. you have an older version of Outlook that does not have command line switch.  What version of Outlook you have?
    2. you have not put a space between "Outlook.exe" and "/ resetnavpane.

    There is a SPACE between 'exe' and ' / '. You didn't have that. That's why.

  • Get the Error Message When you try to reinstall Vista: Windows cannot open the required file: E:\Sources\install.wim

    I'm trying to reinstall windows vista for the following reasons:

    1. I have SQL Server 2008 installed on my computer.  I deleted some files a long time ago and it screwed something and I couldn't reinstall.
    2. I had partitioned my hard drive for vista half and half SuSE and I deleted who and when I did, I think I deleted another partition - my recovery partition (E:\?).
    3. I need to clean my laptop.

    When I try to start the installation of a disk and I put in my product key, I get the following error:

    Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\install.wim.  The file does not exist.  Make suure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.  Error code: 0 x 80070002.

    Let me know if you have any ideas how I can fix it.  My next step was to recreate this E directory and download the install.wim file and re start the installation.  I could not find the file install.wim well.

    Rob

    Hi Rob,

    I checked the link you provided.  What you downloaded was just the Vista recovery environment.  You cannot actually re - install Vista with that and if you blew your recovery partition unfortunately you may be out of luck.  You blew your partition containing Vista runs so the SFC will be of no help either.  I wish I had better news for you, but I don't see any way o get on without a Vista DVD.  I have good news for you if.  When you get your HP drive if you have problems with the installation, we will be able to help you with that.

    Take care and let us know if you need assistance when the disc arrives. Locutys of Borg
