curly,

It sounds like BIAB hasn't been installed properly. Windows needs to be setup for notation to work properly. This is one of the functions of the setup program.

Did you get your version of BIAB on a USB drive? If so, run the Setup file that's found in the root directory of the USB drive. If you want to run BIAB from the USB drive, simply choose that option when it presents itself during the installation process. (It will be the minimum install.)

If the program has been installed correctly, it needs to be run in Administrator Mode. To do this, right-click on the shortcut icon, select "Properties" from the menu, click on the "Compatibility" tab and then activate the "Run as admin." option.

Let us know how you go.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel!

The strange Thing is that, before I uninstalled Acrobate Reader everything works fine. Since that time the Problem starts.
My Band in Box Version I buy it as download Version at Christmas time.
Now I have uninstalled Band in Box install new but the Problem is till now.

Sorry, I want to make sure I understand. Did you uninstall, reinstall, and still have the problem?

Curly,

I'm not sure if the settings files get overwritten if you re-install to the original folder.

Try the following and see if it helps...

1. Start BIAB. Under the Options menu, select "Save preferences as..." to create a backup copy of your current preferences.

2. Close BIAB

3. Go to the \bb folder

4. Find the file "intrface.bbw" and rename it to "intrface.old" (notice that there's no 'e' nor 'a' in the file name.)

5. Find the file "mysetup.dk" and rename it "mysetup.old"

6. Start BIAB

Doing the above is the ultimate version of "return to factory settings". It forces BIAB to create brand new set up files.

If this doesn't solve the problem, you can always return to the original settings by going to the Options menu and loading your saved preferences.

Regards,
Noel

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
