First Notation software run stalls on file load on Windows 7 Professions
I am having the same problem reported earlier in the thread entitled "First Notation software run stalls on file load" on my new Dell Inspiron 660 running an OEM install of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
That is, the first time I attempt to open a Composer file after booting my PC the program stalls. Here is a more complete bug report (borrowing from the earlier bug report):
1. Notation Composer 2.6.3 installed on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and rebooted.
2. I started Composer and tried to open a file using File/Open or by choosing one from the recent files in the open page, or by double-clicking a .not or .mid file.
3. Composer reports "Engraving the score..." and hangs. The only way to terminate Composer is by ending the process in Windows Task Manager.
4. I repeat step 2 and all works fine, with the file opening immediately using any method.
One difference from the earlier report is that I have no pcmmediasharing process running, so I cannot disable it in msconfig.
This is just an annoyance, but it would be nice to fix it if possible.
Thanks.
