Oh, that is different.
If you installed Win98 and then upgraded to Win2K and then upgraded to
WinXP, the program would probably run.
You have lost the necessary dlls that ran the old programs.
Maybe, but I'm too lazy to try, and don't have the wherewithal to do
that, since I skipped 2k, and do not have installation materials for XP
(the new machines came with WIN XP already installed). And I would note
that Finale 2k, 2k3 and 2k6 worked satisfactorily with the legacy card.
The legacy sound card only became a problem if I was running 2k7.
The rest of the problem stems from the redesign of the MIDISPORT UNO,
so that the new version does not work with my keyboard. I would submit
that this does not constitute a _Windows_ issue per se.
