u r SENIOR... senor .. Nice 2 c ya

Let's try 3 ways...

1

​

Mayb u can try taking back ownership of the files:

1. Log out and reboot your machine.
2. When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.
3. Select Safe Mode from the resulting menu.
4. The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different. You won't be able to see the Internet, for instance. Log in as Administrator. Administrator often has no password.
5. In Windows Explorer (aka My Computer), right-click on a file you want to get access to and select Properties.
6. Click on the Security tab. (This may also be available with XP Professional normal mode, but not with XP Home). This will open up an entire realm of permissions.
PROCEED WITH CAUTION. IT MAY WELL BE POSSIBLE TO DO THINGS TO A CRITICAL WINDOWS FILE OR FOLDER SUCH THAT THE SYSTEM CANNOT BE REBOOTED. DO NOTHING TO ANY FILES YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE, AND AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE TO THOSE YOU DO.
7. Here's where I have to get a little vague, because I haven't done this in over a year (since MY machine had to be rebuilt). There's a way to "take ownership" of a file. Find it and try it on that one file.
8. When you've done this, log out and reboot back into normal mode.
9. Try using the file. If you're successful, go back and do the same with the other files you had trouble with.

A google search did the trick. Makes life easy... don't they?

Maybe the file is damaged or corrupt. If necessary, I think you can try some tools. There is a utility called Advanced Word Repair. It works rather well for my corrupt Word documents. It is not free, you may have a try if there is no better choice.
