I have installed an USB device driver in a workstation, a problem of using MS
Word is occurred:

1. Double click on the word document (*.doc)
2. MS Word pop up
3. just the blank MS Word application start, the clicked word document
doesn't open
4. Need to drop the *.doc to MS word applciation to open the file.

Is there any solution for make the Word can open document by double click
the file? This case is only occur in the following platform:

Windows XP profressonal + SP1
MS Office 2000 sp1, sp2 and sp3

All the other platform with any MS office version has no problem.

Thank you!!

The problem is just in Word and only occur when first opening Word. If the
Word application already open, there is no problem to open word document by
double click on the file.

Please comment.

This is a separate problem, I think. I don't know the solution. I just open
Word first.
