Freehand not opening - Rosetta installed?

I've been running Snow Leopard on two of my three Macs since it was first released. I was holding off on my third Mac (iMac Intel 24") until I got my thousands of old Freehand .eps files converted to Illustrator (been using Freehand since v.2). I noticed that Freehand ran fine on my Mac Pro, so I decided to go ahead and install Snow Leopard on the iMac, have my assistant finish the Freehand to Illustrator conversion process (which she has been working on for many weeks), then we would all go happily into "Lion Land".


After the install, and running all the software updates, Freehand wouldn't open. I searched the discussions and found that Rosetta was not installed by default, so I reinstalled Snow Leopard with Rosetta checked, ran the software updates again. Still nothing.


Then I went to Adobe, downloaded the fix they have for running Freehand in Snow Leopard, I put the file in the Applications Support>Macromedia folder as they instruct. Still nothing.


How do I know if Rosetta is actually installed?

Thanks for any help you can give me on this! I really need to finsh this conversion process and move on. Plus, my assistant needs the work 🙂

Mac Pro Early 2008 Eight Core, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
