After that, we could no longer open our Open Office files, they are there, but a filter comes up and none of those work (i.e. clicking on Microsoft Word 95 or97, etc.). Do I need to download a newer version of Open Office?
It sounds like IE 7 messed up your file associations. Try these instructions, to see if things work properly. Right click on file icon Select Open With > Choose Program... Check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and choose the desired application. If that method is not available, follow the directions listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859 -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org>
