Running 25.3 on Win10. Finale will sometimes crash/freeze up after using Playback. Speedy entry is inconsistent with extra notes and random rests. I have tried several keyboards and two different computers with identical results. Problems only after updating to version 25.3. Maintenance updates are current. For all practical purposes, Finale has become functionally unusable. Any help will be appreciated. -Jerry

Send the crash reports to MakeMusic. Those will show what's going on.

First step - quit and restart Finale to see if that helps.

Second step - renew or trash the preferences. This has changed with Finale 25 and should be covered in the help manual.

Those are the first two things that come to my mind.

How many plug-ins do you have? Too, many can cause funky behavior. Remove all the JW plug-ins.
