I'm running calibre 1.1 with "open with" 1.5.7. I've just tried to add Microsoft Reader as a viewer for .lit and it won't start, or rather the Reader splash screen flashes on the display then disappears. It works fine when I start it from Windows Explorer either by clicking on the .exe or by clicking on a .lit book. Other open-with options I've added (Foxit, DJVu etc) all work fine. I've even re-installed MSReader.

I think I've had this working in the past - TBH I was surprised I didn't already have it as an option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
