Still Opening in Word Processing

[rienese]

I installed Office Home and Student 2007 today. I restarted my PC. When I try
to open files on a flash drive created in earlier versions of Word, they are
being opened as wps, not doc.

When I try to open from an email the box asking me to select an application
with which to open is popping up and Word is not even an option. I tried to
save one and it saved with the extension of docx, but it is saying the file
is not found when I try to open it straight from Word.

As far as I can tell, Excel is working fine, I don't have a test subject for
PowerPoint.

Do I need to change a default?

First: NEVER open or save a file on removable media! That's just asking for
a corrupt file.

Second: You need to change your file associations.
