Bonnie, you asked earlier what music program I was useing. I write music with MusicTime Deluxe, a GVOX product. I'v ben useing various editions of musictime since '94or'95 always on a mac untill now. It runs on the PC, just not well. They'r tech support says there's nothing that can be done at the moment. they are in the process of trying to bring the program up to Vista operating standards. All I know is it always worked fine on my Mac.
