Runtime Error Message

Jul 21, 2005 6:37AM PDT

I have received two e-mails that have had "Word" attachments. When I went to open the attachments a window popped up after a moment informing me of a:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library"
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office10\WINWORD.EXE
abnormal program termination
Is this happening because the sender's computer has a problem or because my computer has a problem?
Is ther a way of rectifying this?
Thank you for any input.
John D.
