Hello,
I am trying to open an Authorware file done in 4.0.3 and am having no luck. I
know it won't open on an Intel mac, but I haven't been able to open it on a
PowerMac, either.
Any help is appreciated, and thanks!
Todd

What are you trying to open it with? There's been no Mac version of
Authorware since 4. You can only open it with AW 4 or 5 on PC.

Hi Steve,
I have the original install disc for AW 4.0.3, and in classic on my G4 at
home, I cannot open the file. I have a colleague who produced a great piece of
work in 1998 and he wants to update it, hence my issue. I have XP on my Intel
box here, but am having no luck trying to get the file to open.
--Thanks,
Todd

Do you get any kind of error message? What is the file extension?

What version of Authorware are you trying to us in XP?

When I'm in classic and try to launch the file, I believe I get a memory
error. In XP, I'm trying to open it in AW 7, but I know I need to convert the
file multiple times to open -
Still no luck!
Thanks,
Todd

You don't make it easy, do you? We can help with actual information ...

Like I said already, you cannot open AW 4 files in anything but AW 4 or 5.

Bat your eyelids and talk sweet, you might get someone to help you convert
the file to 7 for you.

Thanks Steve -
I posted a new question asking for someone to upconvert my file -
Thanks for your help, and if you can upconvert it, I'd sure be grateful!
