Well, this problem is still not resolved. I ended up reinstalling the
operating system. Everything is fine when I install Finale 2009. But
as soon as I install the Garritan JABB library (with Kontact et al),
Finale 2009 breaks, and won't show me the context menus.
Is there anybody out there who is running Windows XP, Garritan JABB
library, and Finale 2009? If so, does you right-click work?

In case anybody has similar problems, here is the solution from
Finale. Evidently I had an INI file get corrupted. I haven't tested
this yet, but it makes sense.
1. Close Finale.
2. Open a My Computer window.
3. Navigate into your Finale program's folder (usually in C:\Program
Files\Finale 2009)
4. Find the Finale.ini file. This file will have the file type of
"configuration settings".
5. Delete it.
6. Find the finmidi.ini file. This file will also have the file type
of "Configuration Settings."
7. Delete it.
8. Now run Finale.

Yes, I believe so. It is working perfectly on all other applications.
I went to apply patches to my operating system to see if any of that
would make a difference. For some reason, none of the patches would
apply, and of course Microsoft doesn't explain why. I was able to
regress SP3 off my system, which cleared up the patching problem. I
then reapplied SP3 and all other pending patches. That all seemed to
go normally, so as far as I can tell, my OS is working properly, yet
Finale still refuses to show those menus. Evidently something has
gotten hosed in my registry. I have a ticket open with Finale. I
expect I'll have to uninstall Finale, then do some manual editing on
the registry before reinstalling.

Right click context menus work fine.
I'm no expert at all on this sort of thing, but is your mouse
installed correctly?
