I found the Finale.ini file and deleted it and, as you said, it created a new one when I opened Finale again. Finale worked for about 90 seconds then crashed again. This sounds like God telling me to buy a new computer (which I can't afford) Lawrence Lawrenceyates.co.uk

Initially I just re-installed the program, now I've re-installed everything - no better still crashing after seconds. I'm on Windows XP Home. Everything was working perfectly until yesterday. I'm afraid I'm getting quite desperate now - the next option seems to be to buy a new computer. I'd be

No, Rob, it didn't work. It seems to be something to do with the playback - I've just discovered that when I stop playback, the sound (the last chord played) continues. It stops when I change anything in the audio device setup box. I'm sorry to clog the list with this. I just hope that I can

it will work. Claude is suggesting that you create a new user in XP, then use Finale as that user. That's a possible workaround for registry problems, but running as a new user will make your life more complicated, which you don't need right now. Rob On 2/7/2012 10:04, Lawrence Yates
