As for your second question, you can definitely open a project file from 1.3.4 in 1.3.7. I've struggled myself with your first question. You definitely shouldn't run them both at the same time, and a lot of people here, but not all, will tell you that you can't have them installed at the same time. Among those who say you can't have them both installed at the same time, opinions seem to differ on just how thoroughly you need to uninstall an old 1.3 before installing a new 1.3. To be absolutely safe, delete the application itself, the preferences file, and your LAME and ffmpeg libraries before installing 1.3.7. --Allen
