I've just bought a new macbook, osx 10.6.3 with snow leopard and didn't think to check compatibility of freehand software. I'm getting incredibly frustrated trying to figure out what to do...
I've installed freehand 10 from a CD, using rosetta (downloaded from macs operating system cd). The programme seems to work fine creating new files.
However my problem is that all my previous freehand files backed up on CD and external hard drive won't open. So I tried to download the 30 day trial version of Freehand MX from adobe, thinking I could open all the files and resave them....but freehand mx won't launch, the icon just bounces in the dock! I tried the suggestion of copying registration file into macromedia library, but it didn't work for me. Is this because I would need to purchase a new version of MX for the registration file to work?
Can someone please please HELP. I just need to find a way to open my old files. Is there a way?
Thanks
