Sounds like my hunch that the Windows registry associates the Flash file

with Flash3 (which cannot recognize it) rather than Flash4. It would make

sense for the trial version not to change the .fla file extension

association to open with Flash4, but I'm sure it could be changed manually

through Windows Explorer->View->Options->File Types. Anybody running the

trial version want to try doing that and see if you can then start Flash4

by double-clicking a .fla file in Win Explorer?
