I have done EVERYTHING the Microsoft web site said to do for the conversion bundle. I am running Windows 2000 (SP4), 2.60GHz processor, 514, 769 KB Ram Office 2003 Professional (SP3) I updates ALL "High-Priority" updates (MS website said "none to install"), I ensured Office 2003 had SP3 installed and I downloaded and installed "FileFormatConverters.exe" for MS. When I try to open a .docx file, I can select "Word 2007 document" from the "File Convert" drop down menu, (or Word Macro-enabled 2007 document) and click OK and I get the error "there was an error opening the file". I also tried to save a Word and Excel file in 2007 format and it errors saying it could not save the file. I ALSO downloaded MS Office Word Viewer and it also errors "there was an error opening the file". Other than changing operating system or upgrading to Word 2007, is there anything else I can do?
