Hi! I have a Dell Inspiron 1526 laptop.  I have Microsoft Office 2007 Home/Student Editon on it.  Until recently it has worked perfectly.  Oh, I also have Vista if that helps.  The problem seems to be that I am unable to open a work or excel document through an email for example or even through where I may have saved it.  When I try to open the file it gives me a list of programs that I can use to open the document.  Word nor excell is on that list.  I then click browse and am able to find it.  Yet when I find it and double click on it, I am sent right back to where I was before and the programs I need are still not on the list of available programs.   I can however, go into Excel and click on open then find my file and open it that way.  I just finished running all the updates available and that has not helped either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.   I hope this makes sense!   Thank you!
