(Apologies for barging in, wiclee.)

I'd make one amendment to the instructions from the Apple document. When you're in the compatibility mode tab, be sure that none of the boxes in there are ticked (not just the Compatibility mode box itself). Having any boxes in there ticked whatsoever has the potential for producing a compatibility mode message.
