So, I've been trying to find solutions online for this problem, but none of them worked.

I changed to a Toshiba PC and installed Finale 2009, which I previously had on my hp. It works fine, except for the ambience reverb feature, which is grayed out. It's so much better to compose with some reverb! Oh, also, I can't use the keyboard for articulations anymore. I have to select the whole group of notes and then have the dialog box appear for me to select the desired articulation. It was much easier using the keyboard.

Can someone help me?

Thanks,

Pedro
