Can't open files in Excel or Word

I am unable to open files in Word or Excel from the application. It just
hangs and gives me the hourglass. When I check it on the Windows Task
Manager, it says not responding?

Any ideas as to what it could be? Would reinstalling the apps work? Thanks.

Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security
update MS06-015
