Approximately every 10-15 minutes finale crashes when using any of the eastwest products. No
problems when using a garritan product. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason as to
when the crash occurs, except that opening the score manager seems to hasten it. I have Finale
26 and PLAY 6. I have also had this same problem with earlier versions of finale, and with
different computers.

I get the error message "Finale has encountered an error and needs to shut down" After further review, the error occurs when using the PLAY plugin and either making any inputs to the Score Window or changing voices on bottom of the screen. This happens after a grace period of about 5 minutes when I can do as i please. And again, I have no such problem using the ARIA instruments. I have 32G RAM.

I'm not sure what you mean by instances. I can have one instrument going or 30, used in combination with Garritan products, or on it's own, with one bank or 6 banks, it doesn't matter. I have a grace period of about 5 to 10 minutes before it crashes upon hitting anything in the score window or changing the voices. I would be interested in hearing the stories of your other eastwest friends and this issue:)
I have the same issue. I returned to Finale after a long absence, because Avid is slowly killing Sibelius. But I am very disappointed because Finale constantly crashes when I open the Score Manager to work with my East West libraries. Is there any resolution to this or do I have to go back to Sibelius? I had such high hopes for Finale.
