.doc attachments error message

When I receive an email with an attachment that is .doc, I
get the following message when I try to open it:
Windows cannot find FREQUENT.exe. This program is needed
for opening files of the type DOC File.

Is there any way around this?

How can I replace the missing file?

You can change the default file association with these simple steps:

1.Single-click a file.
2.Hold the Shift key while right-clicking the file.
3.Select "Open With..."
4.Select a program.
5.Place a checkmark next to "Always use this program to open this type of
file" if you want to permanently change its file association. Otherwise,
this will be a one-time solution.
Click OK.
