I'm having a problem, I think, with some RT's or RealStyles.
I was in my 30-day trial for Pro when I decided I wanted to upgrade to Mega. I downloaded and installed everything okay. So, I figured I would demo all the new RealStyles and RealTracks tonight, but I encountered a problem (I think) with one of them.
I clicked the Styles button and selected Styles w/RealTracks [Blues] [4]. Four lines showed up in the Styles panel, only two of which are actually styles; the other two appear to be dividers. The two styles are *_BLSUFF and *=CLAP_BE. The former works fine, but the latter generates errors.
When I select *=CLAP_BE and then click the Load Song Demo button, I get an error; a box pops open saying only "Not Found."
Further, if I enter a 12-bar blues pattern and then select the *=CLAP_BE style for it, I get other errors. BIAB says it can't find the guitar and bass RealTracks: REIGt004.ST2 and RBass008.ST2.
I can provide screen shots of the error messages if that's helpful.
Any ideas?

The mega pak contains all styles but does not have all Real Tracks or Real Drums so any real styles will revert to midi or may give that error. If you want all RT & RD you need the Ultra Plus Pak

Once again: it is definitely true that MegaPak should not give any error and it is supposed to show only styles / real tracks that are included!Some of these errors where fixed with build 294. Another some of these errors only occur when manually installing the Realtrack Updates. So, in order to fix it, delete BIAB-Folder (C:\BB), re-install everything except RT updates, apply the 294 patch and delete =clap_be.sty (which is not meant to be included with MegaPak but accidently got there.) And don't get confused by this "buy ultrapak propaganda" that seems to be very typical for this message board  (I'm not saying UltraPak is a bad buy. It definitely isn't and I finally upgraded from MegaPak solely for the additional Jazz Realtracks.....  )

@Noel: After reading that thread, I will direct my inquiry to PGM's tech support.
@Silver: The two styles above are in the Styles w/RealTracks category, so I figured they were not all-RT styles and had some MIDI patches instead of RealTracks. But there are plenty of other partial RT styles -- at least one other, the BLSUFF one, for example -- that load without error messages.
@andi: I'm glad I saw your 10:11 post before posting this. (I was composing this when yours hit the board.) That is helpful. But I'm still gonna give tech support a call. Can't hurt.

I'm a little bit at a disadvantage to help as I have the Everything Pak. Andi is very familiar with this issue as he has the same mega pak as you and has sorted this out with Andrew. Listen to what he tells you.

Hello Schnazola,
You can ignore or delete that style =clap_be.sty, or you can use it but select RealTracks instruments that you do have instead of the ones it's looking for.

@Andrew: Okay, will do.
But can you tell me how many "styles with RealTracks" I should have with MegaPAK that fit under the heading of Styles w/RealTracks [Blues] [4]?
I figured that the [4] means there are supposed to be four of them (even if two of them are just separators in the displayed list). Am I missing something? Or am I imagining something that's just not there?
