Erm.  Not much - check that you've got:

Mac OS Easy Open          control panel
MaclinkPlus setup         control panel
MaclinkPlus for easy open extension

And the DataViz folder full of translators in your System folder.

If you have, dig in to the prefs folder and trash any suspicious looking
prefs files.  Maybe you could try deleting the PC Exchange prefs?  Apple
Menu Options prefs?  (this is getting a bit wild now)

If that doesn't work, try sacrificing a chicken to the deity of your
choice.
