I think I see your problem... Windows 2000 should be IIS5. ;)

Win 2000 and IIS 4 ??? ouch !

How could docx not be compatible with an end of life'd unsupported system ? 
<sorry for sarcasm>

All,

Entered application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document 
as the .docx MIME type in ISS 4.0 on a Windows 2000 server.   The server was 
then rebooted.

Unfortuantely the docx documents still will not open.  The error is 'Word 
cannot open the file because the file format does not match the file extension'

Is this a compatibility issue?  Can I get .docx to work on IIS4.0? Or could 
there be something else?

Thanks in advance,

Margo
