Office Crashes and Update Errors

Hi folks.

I have an aggravating problem:

I open two power point or word files.

On the task bar I right click and close each one which leaves the empty app
in the taskbar.

I right click and close that and the program crashes.

I ran the office maintenance program and it says there is an update to solve
the problem. I follow the links and it eventually refers me to use Microsoft
update and shows me how to open it. I do and Microsoft update says I have
everything updated. I checked and all the updates seem to be in place.

i have the screen shots in the order the windows appear, but I can't seem to
include them for your viewing pleasure.

Any ideas? Anyone know which update was supposed to solve this issue so I
can undo it and then reinstall it?

I'm using Office Professional 2007 and Vista Home Premium.

Thanks for ay help you can provide.

Just an update...

After reading another recent post, I realized that this problem only occurs
if I've double clicked on the files to open them.

If I go into Power Point and open the files using the Office Button -> Open,
I can right click and close each without a problem.
