I'm trying to use the 2007 file converter for 2003, and I keep getting
"converter failed to save the file" error everytime I try to open a 2007 file
- prior to this it tells me that it cannot find the file, then trys to
convert it ("File conversion in progress"), then gives me "converter failed
to save the file"... All the updates are installed - what's going wrong...!
Just, a thought but have you tried cleaning out the Temporary Internet
Files? (Control Panel, Internet Options, General, Delete files)

Does the file actually reside in a folder you have rights to? If an
e-mail attachment, have you saved it first? Is your anti-virus
interfering and attempting to scan the file, and thereby locking it out?

Check to be sure the default program to open the file is the program that is
supposed to be used. Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. The problem I ran into was
because the file was trying to open with XML Editor, Not Excel.

Could the file be too big? I'm having the same trouble, but I'm trying to
open a really large file.
