Do you have set up to make .org files automatically enter org-mode?

What happens if you use C-x C-f to open the file?

I don't have enough to work on here.

Any other ideas anyone?  Maybe more windows people to test this?
Maybe Paul needs to share his full setup, or try to minimize it while  
keeping the error?

here  
Win XP
Org-mode version 6.20g (just downloaded)
GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-09-06 on SOFT-MJASON

Emacs closed and re-opened, works like a charm, faces are ok

both files with the org-mode heading:
    -*- mode: org; -*-
and test.org file

cheers,
Giovanni

Paul,

Try changing the org-mode line below to:

   (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))

See if that makes a difference.  I don't understand the use of \\'
in your line below.

Two quick ideas,

1. Try starting Emacs with the -Q option.  That disables any of your
   personal initialization/customizations.  If it is working with -Q
   then you know the problem lies somewhere in your own personal setup,
   and you can start adding things back in one at a time.

2. When you open a file you can try (\C-hv major-mode) which will tell
   you if org-mode is actually turned on.

Best of Luck -- Eric
