RE: [Finale] The dreaded upgrade

[Jack Ellis]

I upgraded to F2010 from 2K6, on Windows 7 64bit. Some experiences so far.

For some actions, like registering, you have to run Finale as an administrator 
(right click the program icon).
For installing a midi music keyboard interface, go to the product website for a 
windows 7 64 bit driver.
Had a problem with midi input and solved it using Finale site service. Had 
email back overnight (had to fix a few ini files)
There's a bit of relearning to do. Like the pick tool, but so far I like new 
methods. Had to bring up the manual a few times, and I sometimes still start 
moving toward an old tool by instinct.
Still learning changes in page layout and fit music, but have only done one 
printed job.
