I've had this with various applications from time to tim, caused by a  
corrupt Launch Services database.

Try rebuilding the Launch Services database.  You can do this with  
Onxy (amongst other apps) available from 
http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html

Select the 'Automation' tab, then click 'Rebuilding Launch Services'  
then 'Execute'.
