MS Word 2007: "There was a problem sending the command to the program"
-
I have a workstation that is throwing an error when trying to open a .docx file. If you open Word then click open, document name - it opens fine.
But if you just open the document you get an error:
"There was a problem sending the command to the program"
There are two user profiles on the computer, was getting it in both. edited the registry HK_user/Software/Microsoft/Office/14.0/Word deleting options; File MRU; Data
Also searched for and deleted the normal.dotx files.
On the one profile it worked, no additional errors. But on the person's profile the error remains. I have searched and also found a Microsoft FIXIT tool, but that does not correct the problem either.
Has anyone else ran into this little gem?

Does that same key exist in HKLM?

Not that I am able to find. It appears that the keys are only within HKLU

Sounds like a file association error. Check this link:
