If you are using the latest Java update 7.0.30 this may cause the problem. The new Java registers as Oracle and triggers this problem.
Delete Java 7 and install Java 6. That should solve the problem.

Yeah, the first major update to OpenProj since we got acquired by Serena is coming out tomorrow. ProjectLibre was a major rewrite and includes compatibility with MIcrosoft Project 2010, bug fixes, printing of reports, a ribbon UI and more. You can download ProjectLibre also on Sourceforge. We also launched a community site at http://www.projectlibre.org There are images and other information on the community site. It would be good to get your feedback on ProjectLibre

Same problem, with Windows 7 + Java 7, after creating and closing a file can't not open it.
Solution: Remove OpenProj and Install the new ProjectLibre.

Why can't other users of OpenProject open the files I create?
Same issue here. Other users cannot open .pod file, yet no error or warning, just nothing loads.
I have the same problem. Did you find a way to fix it? I have fully reloaded V1.4 of Open Proj and still cannot open files from my coworker…

Having Java 6 installed, modify the OpenProj1.4.0.ini file:
Maximum Version=1.6
JVM Type=favor_client
Minimum Version=1.5
Using Java 6 solved my problem and opened the .pod file
and what if I can't switch back to Java 6 for the sake that I use other apps which are demanding Java 7??
@mohamnag : You can have 2 (or more) JREs installed - for each application You run You can then define which JRE to use.
We are releasing ProjectLibre this week and will have a fix to the incompatibility issues. It will also be a Sourceforge project https://sourceforge.net/projects/projectlibre/
