Default
In the Default Programs window, use the Browse button to explicitly choose Word 2007. Does that help?

Other things to try:

Is there a trial version of Office 2010 or 2013 installed on the same machine (look in the Programs and Features applet in Control Panel)? In that case, uninstall it.

Try running Word with the /r swith. In the Run dialog box, type winword /r and press Enter. See what happens after the (re-)configuration has completed.
