Chuck, My hunch is one of your AU plug-in's copy protection is failing to return memory space when Finale exits. Finale loads AU even though it doesn't allow you to use it. For example, on my setup, FinMac2008 loads PACE iLok binary images for MOTU Vis even though you won't be able to use them. You can send me the crash log next time it crashes to me privately. There is a chance I could see if AU related object making Finale crash on quit (called COQ error). If this is the case, you can use AUManager to prevent from Finale to load them, which I do. As to pref being corrupted, I can only guess it might be a Finale bug, that is, Finale fails to close pref I/O early enough to protect it. By the way, in general, there are two types of pref design. One is open/ close per app request, and the other is stay open from launch to ext. Finale's one seems to be the latter. But I need a clarification. You said Finale crashes, but the subject sez hangs. Which one is it? If it is a SWOD (spinning wheel of death), open Activity Monitor, Select Finale process, hit Opt+Cmd+S, save it to a text file, and send it to MM!. I haven't learned to analyze process threads yet. I wish I could. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
