Office documents not opening from SharePoint

$

Greetings,

After a migration from SharePoint 2007 to 2010, few office documents will no longer open. I haven't figured out a pattern to these documents yet.

When I try to open a document I get two errors.

  1. Could not open http://....xls (or xlsx or doc or docx)'
  2. Microsoft Excel (or Word) cannot access the file http://....xls (or xlsx or doc or docx)'. There are several possible reasons:

       - The file name or path does not exist.

       - The file is being used by another program.

       - The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.

    

I can save a document on my local machine and then open it without any problems.

I did come across some TechNet discussions and did try the below which didn't help me.

  • Click on Trust Center Settings in the right pane.
  • Select Protected View in the left pane of “Trust Center” dialog.
  • Disable any of all of the protected view options as below by unticking the check boxes:
    • Enable Protected View for files that fail validation
    • Enable Protected View for files originating from the Internet
    • Enable Protected View for files located in potentially unsafe locations
    • Enable Protected View for Outlook attachments"

We have a three tier environment with SharePoint, IIS and SQL on separate VM machines.

Are there any fixes available for this?
