Greetings all. I just installed Finale 25. The first time I tried to run it, the program froze at the splash screen. I upgraded from 2014.5 which was upgraded from 2014, which was upgraded from 2012, which ultimately was upgraded from 2011. I had a similar problem with 2014.5 after upgrading a creative soundcard. The was a conflict with the audio drivers. I ultimately put the old sound-card back in to recover the audio. I then installed ASIO4ALL, which allowed me to run BiaB and Finale at the same time. Have not had a problem since until installing ver. 25. However, there has been no recovery. Three full installations, the last after removing ALL previous versions AND the ASIO4ALL utility. The computer still freezes upon Finale startup and eventually reboots itself. During this, there is no ability to affect any input, not even control-alt-delete. Last-ditch effort was to remove ver 25. Attempt to reinstall 2014.5 (which was the last viable version working) to no avail, computer still freezes/crashes/and reboots itself when trying to start 2014.5.  Any thoughts out there?

Have you filed a support case directly with MakeMusic at their web site? I am sure they are interested in doing everything they can to help users with installation problems.
