PG fixed this for me (thanks PG) . Here is the fix:
go into Opt | Midi/Audio driver setup.
Change the "Synthesizer/Soundcard" option from General MIDI Instrument Misc to any other option in the list.
Press OK and say "yes" to the message that appears.
Then go back into Opt | Midi/Audio driver setup.
Change the "Synthesizer/Soundcard" option back to General MIDI Instrument Misc.
Press OK and say "yes" to the message that appears.

I remember that one. It has appeared here in the past. King of a strange one, right? Like, "...did you turn it off and one?"

So glad we were able to get this fixed for you! This one is not actually a RealDrum issue but has to do with the MIDI Drumkit needing to be reset. One possibility that could cause this is that if someone has modified the drum kit, but did not assign a MIDI note number to one or more of the drum sounds, you might see this message come up. So one fix is to go to Options | Preferences | Drum Kit, and check to make sure that none of the drum sounds have been assigned to "0". For General MIDI drum kit definitions, the default note number for the Bass drums is 35, and the default note number for the Snare drums is 38. Assuming that you are not using a non-General MIDI synth, you can set the bass and snare drums to those values and it should fix it, but sometimes it won't - in which case resetting the drum kit like we recommended above by swapping and re-selecting the General MIDI Instrument Misc option will fix it.
Cheers,
Ember

Yes, this is one of those 'gotchas' that appears infrequently for no apparent reason.
It's been like this for a long time...
(I believe that a RTFS also cures the issue.)

(I believe that a RTFS also cures the issue.) Yes, you are correct that it can cure this as well, but if you're not wanting to back up preferences or reset your other preferences, then the other options mentioned above are good things to check out!  There's definitely a few different ways to fix it, and a few different options on how to fix it depend on someone's comfort level. Thanks for adding this to the convo!
Cheers,
Ember

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
