I realised that I have already experienced this problem and that I in
fact know the solution! It happens when I try to use Finale in a non-
administrator account. The solution: log in as administrator and
change the permissions of the Finale application folder (and
everything inside it) to read and write for everybody. Finale 2009b
now works fine and I have even restored the preferences file that I
had put in the trash.
So in this case it's not a corrupt file: it's the Finale installer
that has set the permissions incorrectly for use by a non-
administrator account.
Thanks to all,
Michael

Michael,
I've had that problem occasionally. What works best for me on iMac
G4 Deal, System 10.4 is to put the Finale Preferences file in the
Finale Folder that contains the application and to make sure that
it (or a copy) does no reside in any other location. I've done this
because I still have Finale 2008 and use it from time to time. I
keep 2008's preference file in with the 2008 application as well so
that there's no confusion for the computer.
Good luck.
