I just experienced the problem you described. I did find a workaround on my wife's laptop. It is running windows xp sp3, office 2003, and 2007 converter package.
I right clicked on the .doc file, then selected "saveas" and chose the option to save as .docx. Then office word could open the file.
Hope this helps.

I believe these are temp files that open when you open a word doc. They SHOULD disappear when word is closed, but clearly sometimes they don't. Trying to open one of those files throws that error. Make sure you are opening the full file, and not some weird temp/phantom file.
