    Okay I tried the whole deleting the registry thing on MS support site and it didn't work. So i'm thinking should i uninstall microsoft office suite and reinstall it? Now if I do that, will all my word,excel, powerpoint documents delete as well or just be unusable until i reinstall MS Office suite?

    thanks.

    They'll be just unusable/unrecognized files until you re-load. When Office is back on the system, they'll be recognized.
