Suddenly, Finale won't respond when opened, no matter how many times I restart the computer (including removing battery). I click it open and it just gives the hourglass icon indefinitely.

Thank you; however, I can't even get that far. It's frozen from the very beginning. I can not even select "File" because it's frozen from the very start. Do I need to un and reinstall the entire thing? It worked fine yesterday. Nothing else on my computer is acting funny.

Do you get as far as moving Finale.INI per the instructions? Do this without Finale running.

I followed the instructions and all worked as described. But, starting up again, the screen isn't as frozen as before - Im able to click "file" (before, I couldn't even do that) but it still says program not responding.

You need to get help from MakeMusic, then.
