I am running Windows XP Pro and have recently upgraded to Office 2010 Pro +


When I receive emails with Word attachments, I cannot open them directly from Outlook. Instead I get the error message:
"The operating system is not presently configured to run this application "

However, I can open the files IF I copy them to the Desktop.
This is rather frustrating and time consuming.

I have ensured that the compatibilty box is unchecked for both WINWORD and WINICON.
I've also tried Start> Run> winword /r

Has anyone got any ideas and/or thoughts?
Please.............!
