Frustrating it sure is. However, in defense of Microsoft, with the personal
computers there are literally millions of different combinations of hardware
and firmware. Even something as 'standard' as your ThinkPad may change from
week to week due to parts availability, different BIOS, different wireless
module, different hard drive, etc. You may think that you have identical
PCs, but I bet they are not. So actually testing every combination is just
an impossible task.
Beta testing VISTA and Office 2007 involved several million users: they had
a wide range of hardware and an equally wide range of tasks that they
perform as part of their normal work. But bugs still get missed because some
feature/hardware/firmware combinations are never tested.
So as hard as MS try, there will always be bugs.

Contrary to what I said earlier, it turns out that I have exactly the same
problem with *both* of my laptops, one a Higrade and one a Thinkpad, both
runnning Vista Business. This is clearly a generic bug in Vista and needs to
be fixed!!

I am having the same issue, with a Thinkpad T42p. Started after a recent
Windows Update, which I also having issues with KB935607, but in any case, it
seems this issue is widespread and unresolved. It always works when I click
the second time, but the first time I get the Windows cannot find error.

Just thought I would add that this definitely isn't a Word 2007 / Firefox
only issue.
I have this problem with Adobe Flash CS3, among other applications.

I have the exact same problem and it is driving me crazy. I have reinstalled
vista and office 2007 and have tried everything that I could find everywhere
on the web. No solutions....no fixes and the problem remains. I cannot open
an item by clicking on it. I have to open the program first.... but only
some of the time? Not all of the time.
It is tedious, time consuming and frusterating. I am at a loss?

I have the same issue but only with Excel 2007, not with Word. And it
happens only on one of several different Vista PCs I am running
(unfortunately on the one I am using most frequently). If I drag&drop
the file into an opened Excel, it opens the XLS file without any
problem. Repetition of doubleclicking on the XLS file does not help at
all.

To reregister Excel, use Start | Run, and type
excel.exe /regserver
