Bob,
 
Mine has the same error when double clicking so I just drag the file from explorer
and drop it into SC. You have to open explorer anyway and when dropped the
file opens immediately. I also use a 21" monitor and found a program called mouse wrap
that works well. If your cursor is on the bottom tray just continue dragging on down and it
comes out on top. It takes a little to get used too but shortens up the mouse stroke alot.
Most of you probably already have mouse wrap but if not, let me know and I will post it.

yes fred, I have this working.
you have to go thru the "explorer/ folder options" route.
open explorer, then folder options
then file types
new
enter PM4 in the extension box, then "OK"
you're now back to the folder options box, highlite the pm4 extension you
just added
in the lower portion of panel, click on advanced button, you'r now in edit
file type panel
click "new"
action is "open", type this in the empty box
application used to perform action is ""C:\SM11\SYSTEM\ffm.exe"  %1" (edit
your path, and note dbl quotes in string)
from an earlier post you need the %1 in there
un-check "use dde"
ok to all and get out
this works for me with "one" error

no matter what, when i start this way, my diagnostics panel pops up saying
it can't find my dfont.sh2 file.
