FWIW: I experienced the same thing in 2.4 a few months ago; no one ever figured it out then either. I had a couple of "can't duplicate" responses and then no more posts. Unfortunately I've forgotten which file it was, but if I can dig it up I'll pass along some details. Also XP SP2+. Only thing I thought of was file assocations but no one thought that would be it. I had not changed any of them; all were/are at defaults for MS Office yet.
