I would try closing Windows Media Player. It may be attempting to use the MIDI ports, so Finale will not have access to them.
If this does not work, there is a program called MIDI-OX that can separate your MIDI ports into a number of "virtual ports." Then you can tell Windows to use one port for MIDI, Finale to use another, your sequencer software to use another, etc. And they'll all go to the same port with no conflict. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Ranck > Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2004 6:23 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Finale] Problem with playback > > > Frequently with Finale Win2K, when I choose the rapid entry tool or > playback feature, the program gives me an error message to > the effect that > that function is already in use and to try again later.
