Chuck--
You've received some good suggestions, I'll just add one more:
1. Put in your system restore (or operating system if you've
upgraded your OS...)
I have upgraded the OS to 10.5.2, and since we bought a family pack of
the OS, and I have sent the disks to our daughter in GA, I don't have
the disk - ugh. I can get it back after a mail delay, of course.

2. Reboot, holding down the C key
3. Select a language.
4. Go to the Utilities menu and choose Disk Utility
Can't get to "Repair." It is not available - maybe have to "Verify"
first?
5. Select your hard drive, and click Repair disk.
6. When that's finished, click Repair permissions.
I did repair permissions and sent Hiro a screen shot of what
permissions seemed to need repair, but he says this was not the root
of the problem.
I am beginning to accept the likelihood that this is a problem on my
system and not a Finale issue, since others don't seem to have the
same experience.
I have also had Sleep/Energy Saver problems where the computer freezes
after being left on overnight and requires "hard" shutdown and
reboot. Seems to me that as Eric suggested, this may be part of the
problem. I will try his instructions, though I don't know what I will
find when I get to the "shell" he describes. I have never tried
anything like that.
Thanks for the attention - all of you who are responding.
Chuck
7. Reboot and see if you have fewer issues.
NOTE: These are 10.5 instructions, I can't remember where Disk
Utility is in the 10.4

Subject: [Finale] continued trouble with 2008b
Hi all,
I'm still having trouble with Finale corrupting the preference file
when quitting. It no longer freezes. It seems to quit without
obvious incident, but the next time I try to open it, it quits before
the opening is complete. Before I complain yet again to MM about
this, is it possible (or likely) that something in my system is
causing this? Am I the only one experiencing this profound
annoyance? I'm getting too good at rebuilding my preferences!
Also, is there a place on my computer that I can keep a copy of the
preferences that Finale will not see it and get confused, and what is
a good, step by step procedure to follow when Finale will not open?
Thanks guys (and gals).
Chuck
