Office 2007 installation can not associate ppt,doc,xls,pptx files with office 2007

[stergiosnik]

Hello All.

I have a windows 7 PC with office 2003 installed.

Recently, I upgraded Office 2003 to Office 2007. But, after the installation I realized that the ppt,doc,xls,pptx and all the relevant files are not associated with Office 2007 applications.

I tried also in Windows 7 the manual association procedure with "open with" but for some reason when I select the Powerpnt.exe then it does not associate. It does not even appear in the "other programs section" to select it.

After this, I logged off and logged on as local administrator and I saw that the file associations are OK without problems.

I assumed that it must be a permission problem with the user's account.

The user account already belongs to the local administrators group but I changed ownership and provided full control to all C:\ drive for local administrators group, too.

I tried again but the problem was not solved. I am about to format the PC and reinstall everything.

Any ideas on how to resolve this file association problem with Office 2007?

Thank you in advance.

Stergios.
