While I'm having some big general PC issues, The PC 2010a may have deep problems, too.
I have been advised to do a delete and regedit by MM tech support.

I would _strongly_ advise all Finale users, particularly those Mac users on older machines (it happened on our G5 PPCs running OS 10.4.11) not to install this patch until this matter has been cleared up. As it would seem to not be affecting the whole Finale community, it might be an OS and/or processor conflict...
