Dear David,
Thanks for the Windows information. I have so little experience with
that OS that I was narrowly focussed on my own computer world and lost
sight of the possibility of that kind of difference in the way the
systems process and store things. Besides that, my "knowledge" comes
only form what I infer about how these things work - from the outside,
not from programming experience like yours, so that too limits the
usefulness of my suggestions. Anyway, missed on that one. Thanks
again.
Chuck

Have you tried deleting the preference file? Corrupted preferences

That's advice frequently given to Mac users, Chuck, but so far as I'm
aware, it doesn't at all apply to Windows. I don't have a recent
version of Finale, but all versions that I have ever owned store the
"preferences" in an INI file, which is plain text. This can't get
corrupted. Perhaps later versions of Finale are more consistent with
Windows practices and use the registry, but the registry doesn't get
corrupted, either. It can get incorrect values, but I've not seen a
corrupt registry since the very early days of Windows 95.
