I will look into this for you, at the moment I am working from a machine that doesn't have PrintMusic Installed.

In the meantime you might also want to check the MakeMusic Knowledge base Here See if it has any further pointers.

Microsoft support is incorrect, however you are probably running in Administrator anyway. Provided you have up-to-date Anti-Virus, you need not worry.

Instead of using the Run command to start the install go to "My Computer" and double click the DVD Drive Icon It should say something like Finale 2009.

You will get one of two things happen, it will either open the AutoRun folder in which case it will prompt you to install Finale. Otherwise you need to look for the Icon that is called "Setup.exe" and this will start the installer.

If neither of these happen and you get either the "Please insert a CD/DVD" error or a "CRC" error your drive cant read the disc correctly.

Please check to make sure your CD drive can read DVDs. As the Finale 2009 install disk is DVD only.

One way around this problem would be to copy the contents of the install DVD on your Vista laptop to the computers Hard Disk and share the contents to the XP machine using file sharing.

I haven't done this myself but I can't see why not. Just create a recording track and name it violin.

Could you please give more detail as I am unsure as to what your problem actually is.

These can be expanded with further garritan sound packs but we as yet have been unable to stock them in the UK.
