 Opening files on MS office 2007
When trying to open MS office file sent to me by Email they caused a "Grave error" and MS office failed to respond. I got hold of said files on a flash drive and when trying to open them, same thing, office failed to respond and "grave error". I,ve updated my office program with zero results. Any ideas?

Software/Hardware used:
MS windows 7

Answer Wiki:
Sounds like a corrupt file on the flash drive.  Maybe go back to where the file was before it was put on the flash drive.

You received a message that said “Grave error”?  I have never heard that one before.  Googled it, nothing…

never heard of grave error too. maybe the file itself is already corrupted before sending to you

Although I use 2003, I do occasionally get a comment upon trying to open a file that goes something along the line of “The last time this file was opened it caused a grave error.  Do you wish to try anyway?”  But I can’t find an official error message code or reconstruct the error.  That’s why I think he’s got a corrupted file on the flash drive.
