Just installed the latest beta on 2 machines - all is fine on one, but on the
other, if I look at the file types on the advanced options page, the list
stops at the "mda" extension. No file types from there to the end of the
alphabet appear, thus excluding pdfs, zips, and a whole host of others.
Moreover, attempts to manually add pdfs don't seem to stick. I have
reinstalled, but to no effect. Any thoughts?

download regmon from sysinternals and run it when you open the advanced
options page. I suspect what is happening is that as it is reading the list
of persistent handlers for file extensions it is encountering a problem
sometime after .mda and failing. You may have to remove a persistenthandler
entry which is problematic.
