Windows XP and Vista are operating systems, not word processors. Do you have
Word on your computer? It's not something that automatically comes with
Windows - you have to pay extra for it.

And the file extension of the document you're trying to open? ie
document.docx or document.doc or document.pps

Operating systems are not used to type documents.
