I just switched my Dell Dimension 2400 from WIndows XP to Ubuntu Linux 10.0.4 Lucid Lynx. I downloaded and installed Finale 2010. WHen I try to open the program, however, it tries to run (I see the outlines of windows for a second) but then doesn't open. I am completely new to Linux and have no idea what to look for to fix this. I trust someone here will know the answer, because I saw that Finale is rated Silver. Thanks.
I can assure you finale notepad 2010 does work as I set a friend up with it some months ago. How ever I didn't have the issue you talk of so I cant help you further. Sorry! Good luck.

Thanks. >Look at the AppDB page to see if there is something you need to set up to have it working (Platinum is the only rating where things work fully, out of the box...) The FAQ have some info as well, such as how to run it from a console window that you can post debug output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-3b297df7a5411abe2b8d37fead01a2b8edc21619 http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ (It's a good idea to read the whole thing...) Check which version of Wine you have: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-2c37616bc34f6544af34566fe5f08a7a22ee377c If it is not at least 1.2, upgrade (see the download page for instructions) Gert
