So I have this CD-ROM that came with one of my textbooks and tried to use it a few weeks before classes started. It's a Director-based app with a little menu that lets you launch animations and self-tests and whatnot. That first time I tried it, the menu was totally nonresponsive. I tried copying the contents to the HD, running it in another user account, logging out and back in as myself, got nowhere. ~1 week ago, before trying to figure out if the publisher provides tech support, I decided to try it again. Lo and behold, it worked. Of course, by then I had no idea what I was doing differently from the first time. Today I wanted to check out some video, and again I get a menu that ignores my clicks.

I can't find any prefs or cache folders that seem remotely related. Is there some trick to running Director-made apps on Tiger that I'm missing?
