I manually located an updater file here on this website and was able to install the update. now i didn't get the realdrum unable to locate message, but all i can hear are drums. Anyway that's my little bit of progress.

First, when you wrote this: "Also in the mixer the drums are in green but piano and bass are yellow" it means that the drums are playing RealDrums (not MIDI) but the other instruments are playing MIDI (not RealTracks).

An alternate way is to use a free service to post the picture. When I want to post a picture, I upload it to a Public folder in Dropbox and copy the link to put in a post here. As for hearing the other tracks, we need to know what you are using to play MIDI. Can you tell us what your Preferences, MIDI Driver, Output setting is? BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.
