I realize that I'm running an older version of Illustrator, buty I hope someone can help. I had to reformat the hard drive on my computer and reloaded Windows ME on the computer as an operating system. After loading Illustrator 8 back on, it will not open documents itself. If I go to the document a double click it, Illustrator will kick in and the document will open. Illustrator itself will not open any Illustrator files id you go to file, open, then select the file, the system freezes and I have to reboot.

Thanks,
Mark
