72: Sibelius gets stuck on the taskbar when starting (Windows)

On some computers, Sibelius appears not to start, and remains minimised on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. If this happens, simply click on the minimised Sibelius window on the taskbar and type Return (on the main keyboard), which will maximise Sibelius and allow you to continue working.

In Sibelius 1.4 this might happen if Sibelius thought it was displaying the 'Tip of the Day' dialog box and was waiting for you to press Ok. However if you couldn't see the box you couldn't press Ok. Therefore pressing Return solves this. You can also turn off Show Tip Next Time in the Help > Tip of the Day menu (once you are back in Sibelius) to stop it happening in the future however it is fixed in newer versions of Sibelius.
