Hi: Not quite sure what you mean. Are you saying that, when you open a MS Word document, instead of opening in MS Word, it opens in WordPad ? How are you opening the MS Word document? It sounds to me like this is a file association issue. Please take a look at this video... http://video.about.com/windows/Windows-XP-File-Associations.htm Does this address your issue ?
