XML not opening in Word 2003 when requested from IE 6 -- dotnet xml

I built a web app that creates and saves a WordML file on disk (with a
processing instruction in it for Word.Document). When this file is requested
from a client machines, the client's browser automatically opens Word 2003
and views the XML in the Word application as a document, as its supposed to.
However, on one machine, the XML text just opens in the IE window as straight
XML text, totally ignoring the PI to treat as a Word document. Checked all
the File Types for XML and DOC and they are the same one this machine as the
others for the "open" and "edit" entries.

I'm outta ideas, anybody have any clue what could be causing this? Getting
ready to rebuild box so any quick reply would be GREATLY appreciated!

Meena,

What I had to do was find a machine that was accessing the web app and
correctly pulling up the Word Document. Then I used the registry editor to
export the Word keys (forgot which ones...I think the one for Word and .doc)
and then imported them on the machine that was not working. That did it for
me.

Hope this helps,
Randy
