George, There does seem to be something strange going on. When I sent the link to myself it came through in the clear. I'm pasting it again to see what happens. http://www.sibelius.com/helpcenter/article.php?id=549&languageid=1&searchid= 3682650 Dan Rugman. -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of George Bell Sent: 10 December 2010 18:35 To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: Sib Access under Windows 7 Dan, I can't make head nor tail of it even now.

It sticks at a screen which says "Initialising Playback system", and when you then try to shut down, you get an application error from Sibelius.exe saying it can't read an instruction at memory address xxx Any suggestions as to other things to try please?
