Finale trashed my PowerBook

[figmo]

I loaded the Finale 2006 DVD. It automatically rebooted my Mac.

Instead of my desktop coming up, all I see is a magnifying glass in the upper right corner of the screen (in what would be the top bar if it were to appear all the way across) and the screen's background pattern.

I have no idea what I should do to unhose my system. Any suggestions?

... and if that doesn't work, get on the phone to Finale's tech support.

I went to Finale's tech support first. They blew me off. Then I tried reinstalling OS X 10.4, figuring (correctly) the CD would somehow Do The Right Thing and just replace whatever was missing. Somehow everything came up as if Nothing Had Ever Happened.

Go figure.
