Is it just one file or any file you try to open?

It is not just one file. It is many files. I stopped it from occuring by
eliminating several "add-in" programs. I think the Omnipage Add-ins are the
most suspicious.

Yes. Omnipage has been troublesome. They may have an update that is fully
compatible with 2007.

I am getting the same problem and I do not know where to look for the
Add-in's. Can you point me to the right direction so I can resolve this
problem too. It does it when it is an email file attachment for me.
