Craig, I use two. Finale is on #1, portrait @ 1050x1680. #2 is landscape @ 1680x1050. Moving Finale from 1 to 2 causes no problems with the context menus. Sorry ;-( Jim

It turns out that my missing menus were related to my monitor configuration. I use a 2-monitor setup. Whenever Finale is running on the first monitor, the context menus work fine. Whenever I drag Finale to monitor #2, I can no longer use the right-click menus. Is anybody else running a two-monitor system where the desktop spans the two monitors? I'd like to know how widespread the problem is. It could be something very specific to my monitor #2, which is very large (1920x1200), or it might affect everybody using a dual-monitor system.
