Hello
Since updating to OOo 2.4.0 I'm having a strange problem opening .pps files. Operating System = Vista Home Basic SP1.
If I manually launch Impress then click 'open' and point to the saved .pps file Impress will open the file without a problem. But, if I save a .pps file to my hard drive and double click it I get the windows message of "Cannot open file - please select default program from list........." So, I click on browse and find the sImpress.exe file and set it as the default program for opening .pps files. Still, the .pps file wont open. Even if I go into Control Panel - Default Programs and manually set Impress as the default viewer I still can't open .pps files.....
During the install I select the check-box for making Impress the default viewer for .pps too...all to no avail. The only way I can get impress to view .pps files is by opening Impress......then click 'open' and point it to the .pps file....it's driving me nuts.
This bug has only popped up since installing OOo2.4....anyone have any idea?

Instead of simpress have you tried setting it to just soffice?
