I'm no expert here, but it doesn't surprise me that SMTP and SMAPI (sendmail stuff for sending email) aren't enabled by default on Windows. But HTTP should work. I'm afraid this adds to the feeling that they don't care much about fixing bugs.>>> Performing actions with error report: '...\Temp\Finale\CrashReporting\2014.5.0.6359\bc6af90a-4a6b-4379-b859-44ba3a4576e9'

Has anyone had Finale crash and then successfully send its error report recently? I got this:

The automatic system never worked for me. I have sent the crash reports that were dumped into the temp folder to MM support when requested.

It seems I recall that on at least one occasion, there was some result. However, it's been a long time.

So, I just found this thread, finally taking the time to investigate if there is a solution to the crash reports never ever being sent properly. But I guess there is not? Still on 2014.5.

I really don't think MM keeps any programmers on staff. Oh, they may have a person that can read code but not a true programmer. I think that is why it takes them so long or not at all to fix bugs. This is not the old MM.
