I just put the SERVICE PACK 2 on my XP yesterday and tried to load 2005. Lots of problems, plus nothing (even after speaking to tech support) would load this part of the program.
The SMARTMUSIC synth choice gives no sound at all.
Also, the repeats plug-in is gone and bizarre events occur when 2004 scores created with it are brought up.
Not too complicated scores (on a 1-Gig RAM setup) elicit RAM deficiency warnings on playback.
I never really had any problems with 2004. This one seems to be a backyard delight;-)
I just checked and the Repeats plugins aren't part of my installation either. I simply copied the Repts32.fxt plugin from Finale2004 to Finale2005 and the repeat plug-ins work just fine.
Wonder how they overlooked them in the installation package?
I haven't had any problems with playback and RAM warnings.
I am definitely holding off on SP2, based on your experience and some warnings I received on another list of computers not booting after installing it.
The SmartMusic synth works fine on my installation.
Sorry to hear about your troubles!
I would definitely suggest either trying to turn off all the security enhancements in SP2 and seeing if that helps things for you.
