Like that whole font thing, where you could have several different versions of a font available at different levels, causing only certain characters to show up as other characters in some Finale documents... Installing Finale only as administrator turned out to be a good solution. Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

That won't necessarily fix the problem -- it depends on whether or not the registration process is performed by the Finale executable, or is handed off to a different module. If the former, RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR will do the job. If it's the latter, it won't, as the other module will get the default user-level security token, not the Finale executable's admin-level security token. If that's the case, then it's a design error in Finale, perhaps because the version in question predates the release of Vista. -- David W.

Registration requires Administrator Level execution. By default, Vista does not Afford Administrator Level as a securoty measure. Right-click the Finale icon and select "Run as Administrator."

Re: [Finale] Another naive computer question
Thanks for the advice. Problem solved. Had the same problem when I bought a computer about 2 years ago, but totally forgot the solution. Sign in as admin solved the problem.

Re: [Finale] Another naive computer question
You'll have to be more specific with platform, OS version and Finale version. I hear on the MakeMusic website there are tons of questions about this. Sorry I paid no attention because it all works with me. Christopher On Wed Oct 21, at WednesdayOct 21 5:25 PM, David McKay wrote: I have problems registering the program. Always have had.
