Another Tip:
Try plugging in your device BEFORE installing drivers. There is a chance
that your device may support the MIDI part of the USB spec. Granted, you
won't have some of the bells and whistles that the installed driver
provides, but you can still use it.

Hi Dennis,
Is there a musicxml.dll file in your Finale 2006 Component Files
folder? If not, then you need to install Java 1.4 or 5.0 on your

Most likely the MusicXML.dll file is there, and this is a misleading
