Thanks for your help, Jim. I really appreciate it! I un - and re-installed WinFin 2014, now on the big non-ssd drive. Same issues. I think it is file-related. The file is bulky - I've copied an old file into a new one, with different instrumentation, even after deleting unused measures it is

Ray, My guess is that your issues have to do with the SSD rather than with finale. Can you move at least finale back to the root drive? I tried what you described the change was instantaneous on my system with no SSD. Jim www.soundcloud.com/jweuph Sent from my iPhone, so please pardon all the

Well, then I'll get back to the path issues that have kept me from hearing Garritan. After wiping the drives I put Fin and Garritan in the defaults, and it worked, albeit slowly. I must say that the Garritan sounds seem to load faster than they used to. But I'll see if fin can be moved to the

Ray, I'd uninstall/reinstall. Not sure if you'll need to deauthorize finale first since you're putting it on a different drive. Jim www.soundcloud.com/jweuph Sent from my iPhone, so please pardon all the typos. On Jul 12, 2014, at 5:30 PM, Raymond Horton horton.raym...@gmail.com wrote:

Ray, While 2014c is slow to load--as is 2012--I am having no issues of slowness while working. Since I have ca. 1200 fonts on my machine, font changes are a bit draggy. I'm on Windoze 8.1 with 16gb of RAM fwiw. Jim www.soundcloud.com/jweuph Sent from my iPhone, so please pardon all the typos.
