Are you running the output through the "built-in" softsynth or are you running it through the same midi outputs you always have (i.e. soundcard or external midi module or keyboard)?

That sounds like a latency issue. I haven't run into it, but then again I haven't played back many Fin2003 files in Fin2004. I will keep my ears peeled.

I am using Finale 2004 with Windows 98. Had no problems until I started playing back files that originated in 2001 or 2003 and were transferred 2004. When I play back the transplanted files I get intermittent very short duration"choke points" where the playback is disrupted and then resumes. It sounds like the program is trying to play the notes but can't seem to sort them out.

Finale support suggested using an older MIDI driver which they sent. With that installed, there was no playback at all. Returning to the original driver, the interruptions changed from intermittent very short periods to extended periods (about 3-4 seconds). A file did play one time to the end without interruption. It was a slow second movement of 60 measures. I sent that file to Winsupport who said it played fine, but I don't know what Windows version they used.

I ran the DirectX diagnostic which reported some errors. I sent this to Winsupport. It was then suggested that I install the latest version of Direct X drivers. Version 8.0 I downloaded said it was not compatible with my current Windows version.

Has anyone had a problem of this kind with 2004 and Win 98?

Thanks for any insights you offer.
