I can't imagine any way in which simply renaming any .dot (or .dotx or
..dotm) file to .old could prevent all Office documents from opening.
Something else is seriously wrong with your setup. The answers to the
following questions may help to point in the right direction, or at
least rule out some possibilities.

Can you give the full name of the file you changed and the folder that
contains it?

What version of Windows are you using?

When you say you can't open any documents, exactly how are you trying
to open them, step by step?

Can you start any of the Office programs, without opening any existing
documents?

When you run the Office installer, exactly what happens? What messages
do you see (exact wording, please), in what order?

What other programs are you using with Office (or did you use with
previous Office versions)? (e.g., Adobe Acrobat)

What antivirus package is installed?

I changed the only file in the folder which had a name to the effect of
templates.dot to a .old extension. I can no longer open ANY MS documents
(Word, Excel, etc.). System restore will not restore the lost file. I
cannot load Enterprise either, because it fails to install.

What do I do now?

Hi, I just installed Office Enterprise 2007, which includes MS Word 2007.
Every time I open a MS Word document from a previous edition, e.g., MS Word
2002 OR if I create a brand new MS Word 2007 document, I see the following
error message:

Microsoft Visual Basic
Compile error in hidden module: basInterface

If I click the OK button, the window disappears and I can work on the
document. Nevertheless, it is quite annoying.

How do I get rid of this window?
