That's the thing. Nothing but the usual background tasks. This is WinXP Pro SP3, Intel Core Duo 3GHz, 2GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce 9400 driving two 22-inch displays (one landscape, one portrait), Saffire Pro-40 8-channel outboard audio. The system was custom-built for me less than a year ago for audio. Finale 2007 works fine, no lags even with Garritan stuff running. No other audio or video application shows the slightest problem. But Finale consistently begins to lag, sometimes playing a whole crunch of notes 10-15 seconds later as it catches up. I just tested it on Garritan stuff and same problem. The display shows the cursor moving for playback normally. I've had to restart Finale about every 20 minutes. Thanks for any insights!
