After years of using Flash CS3 on our Windows 7 computer, it would not launch. So we did a system recovery (reverted to factory image), re-installed Windows and updates, installed Flash CS3, then successfully did the license verification. But Flash CS3 will not launch.
We copied the Flash Icon from the Start Menu to the TaskBar. This is the icon we clicked on to do license verification, but now we can't use it to launch Flash CS3.
Thanks for any ideas.

(I realize Flash CS3 is not meant to work on Win 7, but it has for years on this computer and on our Toshiba laptop, also with AMD processor)
