Let me fix it myself

To unregister the mswrd632 converter yourself, edit the registry as follows:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
   • For 32-bit versions of Windows:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Text Converters\Import\MSWord6.wpc
   • For 64-bit versions of Windows:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Text Converters\Import\MSWord6.wpc
3. On the Edit menu, click Delete.
4. Click Yes.
5. Exit Registry Editor.

This change will effectively unregister the converter and disable it for third-party applications and for Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office will use its own text converters to open these kinds of files.
