For some reason, Safari has stopped automatically opening files I download (such as Real files, PPT, DMG, etc.). Any suggestions? And yes, I have the box checked in preferences.

You really shouldn't be setting your browser to automatically open downloaded files, even "safe" ones. I have long lamented the fact that Safari allows you to do that. Automatically running untrusted code is just plain Not A Good Idea.

I was having this problem, but it was because I had the 1.3 developer copy of Safari. I've since done an Archive and Install to get back to v1.2.3 with 10.3.5 and all is well now.
