Hi; Firstly; the current versions of Garritan SoundLibraries use a different engine called the AREA Player. Apart from that I've had no issue when I updated to the latest version not so long ago. Perhaps the fact that they got taken over by Finale adds to the confusion. Below is the email I received when we purchased GPO and JABB.
Imagine having a symphony orchestra at your fingertips. Garritan Personal Orchestra gives you a complete orchestra – strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, keyboards and more. Version 5 is a major new update, now with more than 500 instruments to choose from.

Yea thanks Robert. That does help. I never updated (never got any news about updates). So still on the original GPO release. Good news is. Like you said. Upgrade path is available for fifty bucks.
N' you go to the AREA player. Just got off the phone with the folks at Finale about the Garritan lib. They said the original version is auth'd by Native Instruments (Kontakt) n' I'll have to go through them. If this gets much more involved, I'll probably ditch Garritan and move on. GPO v1 is 8 years old.
Leaning towards ditching it already). Maybe more later.
