635: Text missing from menus and dialogs

If you find that the menus and dialogs in Sibelius are blank or missing the text then there may well be a third party application that's hooking into Sibelius.

Sibelius has stopped working

To resolve this, we have created a small application that will check to see if this is happening and will allow you to fix this:

  • Download the Sibelius Compatibility Tool from the link below:

  • Sibelius Compatibility Tool


  • When asked, Open the zip folder
  • Double-click the Double_Click_Me.exe file
  • If prompted to Extract, Run or Cancel, choose Run
  • Important: read the warning at the top of the window
  • Click the 'Fix Now' button.
  • Once it has finished click the Exit button.
  • Now, restart your computer

If you're still having a problem seeing the text in Sibelius' menus and dialogs, you will need to download a small application from Microsoft, which will allow you to identify what the problematic item is and disable it. See the following page for details:
