I'm trying to use MS Project Professional 2003 (in Win XP SP2 and the lastest updates from the microsoft website have been installed).

When I open a .mpp file - Project quits unexpectedly without an error message. If I double click the mpp file, Project starts up but then immediately quits.

Is there a solution for this problem?
