Re: Windows cannot find C:\ (doc) Make sure you typed the name cor

I'd definitely remove the Bluetooth add-in. Bluetooth drivers are notorious for being badly written and creating havoc with Office apps.
But you list of problems suggests that you do not have a compatible locally installed printer driver set as the Windows default. Word MUST have a compatible locally installed printer driver to work.

Further info on printing problems
When i click File Print I am returned to the document with no response
printer wise
When i click the Quick Print button i receive following error
Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup
Show Help>
This error can appear if a default printer has not been designated or if the
application is unable to locate an existing default printer. To correct this
problem, try one of the following in Microsoft Windows:
If a printer is not available in the Print dialog box, add a printer.
If the application cannot find an existing printer that is already
installed, set the printer as the default printer.
If a default printer is installed but the application is unable to use it,
uninstall the printer driver, and then install the latest version of the
printer driver.
If the printer is on a print server, make sure the printer is available, the
network is functioning, the server is not stalled, the printer is not out of
paper, or the printer is not suspended by the administrator. Printing issues
associated with a network printer are best handled by your local network
administrator.
For more information about setting up and troubleshooting printer
connections, see Windows Help and Support. (Click the Start button, and then
click Help and Support.)


The printer i am trying to print to is a network printer. I have tried
removing it and readding it. It is in my printer control panel, shows as
default, and can be printed to from other applications

Outlook 2007 no longer uses Word as its email editor, so double-clicking an
attachment in Outlook is just a red herring as it doesn't open Word.

This sounds more like an arrant add-in is at work. I suggest removing all
add-ins and testing to see if that removes the problem. See how to find
add-ins
