I do not have SP2, but from what I've heard it is SP2 which is the questionable product, not Finale2005. Without SP2, but with WinXPPro the installation went flawlessly. From what I've read, SP2 doesn't really offer much if you keep your antivirus program up to date and use a firewall, so I'm

A Questionable product? Perhaps you shouldn't have installed a questionable Service Pack from Microsoft... I'd imagine that the first service update to Finale will address Service Pack (or crap) 2 problems. You should always make sure software works with Microsoft Service packs BEFORE

So is this a Finale problem or a Windows XP Service Pack 2 problem? Did you try 2004 with it? I've heard Service Pack 2 breaks a lot of software, so, I'll pass on it now. I don't think you should be pointing fingers at MakeMusic. Direct it at Microsoft. Henry Howey wrote: I just put the
