After installing the FinMac 2010a patch our machines suddenly stopped
working (freezing, not being able to open older files and so on) and
we had to wipe the patched version (I can recommend AppDelete and
AppZapper for such grisly tasks!) and reinstall the unpatched
version, which had been working fine.
I would _strongly_ advise all Finale users, particularly those Mac
users on older machines (it happened on our G5 PPCs running OS
10.4.11) not to install this patch until this matter has been cleared
up. As it would seem to not be affecting the whole Finale community,
it might be an OS and/or processor conflict...

What response have you gotten from MakeMusic about this?
I have 2010a installed on an XPpro machine and I'm not getting that
crash which you have described. I just experimented again, with
and without midi device entry, using speedy entry, and no crash.
Just how pervasive is this bug? A couple of people have run into
it, but certainly not a huge majority of the people on this list.
It would be interesting to know what sort of percentage have had to
uninstall the product and then just reinstall the original 2010
release.

Evidently on both. It happened to me on Windows XP. It happened

I wiped out the entire F2010 installation and reinstalled just the
base product without the patch and it works normally. I'd
strongly advise against anybody putting on the patch, as it seems
the problem is fairly pervasive.
