On WinXP (2007a) I have very few incidents of (GPO) playback-related crashes, but then - I don't use playback much. I can't recall crashes when using softsynth fonts in 2007a, though. The few crashes I've experienced seem to be the result of a (MS-warning) incompatability between Finale and some unnamed program driver in my computer. I don't have the time (or patience) to uninstall programs at random to see which driver might be the culprit - if in fact this IS the cause.
Oh, Windows crash diagnosis: if only you were clever enough to tell me WHAT the specific driver issue is, instead of just yelling 'fire' in a crowded computer....

Yet here I don't see it mentioned very often. Is that because most people here are concerned primarily with engraving and don't use playback? Just wondering?
