How about deleting the standard user account(s) you have set up and starting over with them. Alternatively, you could simply log on and run as administrator. Some say there is a problem doing do, but I think that if one's AV/Malware protection is good, then doing so is no big deal. I always run as administrator on all my computers. Basically, I don't like fooling with user accounts.
I don't understand totally where felix is coming from, but I agree that the problem is an unusual one for Vista. Indeed, I've never heard mention of your problem before. How about copying some of your files to the Vista drive using a flash drive and seeing if they work from the Vista drive.
Finally, are you aware that some older files cannot be opened using Office 2003 (and perhaps Office 2007) if SP3 has been installed on Office 2003--without a fix from MS. Did you install SP3?
