I still have 2011 RB on a notebook that we use when performing, but there is a minor annoyance with that installation.
Everything works fine, except for loading of mp3 files. Then it fails with a pop up about a problems running an .EXE file, but the name for the .EXE is a shorten version so I haven't tracked down what it might be.
I haven't had a chance to try 2017 RB on the notebook yet, so I don't know if the mp3 loading issue is specific to RB 2011, something in the Win10 installation or some issue that happened when RB 2011 was installed.
Has anyone else any any issues with loading .mp3 files on RB 2011, or newer?
I'll test with RB 2017 on the notebook to see that makes any difference.
Thanks, Burt

STOM^.exe is the audio file converter, you can turn the User Account Control down (Control Panel > User Accounts), try right click STOM^.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Run as administrator.

Burt, In addition to Pipeline's potential solution, you could also try right-clicking on the RB shortcut and try starting it using "Run as administrator". That might work, too. Regards, Noel

Thanks all,
I'll give that a shot. Likely it is a permission issue.

Finally had a chance to dig into the issue again.
Indeed selecting run as admin made it work, but no matter what even setting the STOM^.exe util to always run as admin it wouldn't seem to stick. Again if I right clicked and selected run as admin it would then process and after I dismissed the error dialog from RB the processed file was loaded into RB just fine.
What finally resolved it was to set RealBand 2011 to always run as admin, but of course windoze 10 always insists on asking me if I want to allow RealBand to make changes when I start it up now. Have to see if I can track down where to tell Windoze to not nag me. It's an annoyance, but at least I can now load .mpg files in RB on the notebook again.
Note this is much easier on Linux. That is to set user (and other) permissions on an application (when needed).
Another rainy day project will be to see if I can get RB configured under Wine to access my external MIDI synth module over USB. If I can do that, and if it runs well, then I'll just run it on Linux under Wine in the future.

Burt, I've been a beta tester for 7 or 8 years now. I don't remember the details of RB 2011 other than it worked fine. My systems have always been standard Windows installs, whatever the default is is what I've always used. I install Biab/RB off the discs and now the PG hard drive using the defaults too. Simple. Here's the bottom line:
I've never had any of the problems the computer geeks like yourself seem to have. These programs simply run and run well, that's it. The people who have problems tend to fall into two camps, true noobies who have barely used their PC's for email and web surfing, decided to jump into digital audio and can barely spell MIDI much less understand it. And high level geeks who are all the time messing with their systems, messing around with other OS's, using dubious 3rd party stuff that may or may not run well and other fun stuff like that. Some on this forum can handle all that just fine, understand what they're doing and don't have problems, others don't and have problems.
I have no idea what's with your laptop or your level of understanding but my only suggestion is to wipe it clean, reinstall Windows and start over. You can spend days going on a snipe hunt and finally figure out what's going on if you want but that's what I would do. I guarantee you whatever issues you're having will cease to exist.
