When trying to quit BIAB the following message appears:  The only way to quit the program is via Task Manager. Is this the normal way to quit the program?

Certainly not, although I have not seen this one before, Unless someone comes up with the right solution, try restore to factory and see if that do anything for it.
Good luck

Thanks for answering.
I did allready de-install all PG Music and BIAB files on my computer before I did run the setup.exe from UltrPlusPAK again.
It did not help nothing.

Is F:\ the external drive? Or is it a secondary internal drive?
Does that folder have the correct permissions to allow BiaB to write to it?
My first suspicion is a permissions issue.
Make your sound your own!

Cudo,
Adding on to what rharv has said, what version of Windows are you running?

You do not want BIAB installed into a /Program Files folder (either one, if 64-bit Windows).

Did you also delete the C:/BB folder before you re-installed? This is a must.

Hi Matt, I wanted the BIAB all on the external HD. Is F:\ the external drive? Or is it a secondary internal drive?
Does that folder have the correct permissions to allow BiaB to write to it?
My first suspicion is a permissions issue. Yes, F:\ is the external drive where all the BIAB files are. I don't Know how to give "permiSsions. I had it intsalled a time ago and everything went fine. what version of Windows are you running?
Noel I am using Windows7
Did you also delete the C:/BB folder before you re-installed? This is a must.
No I did not. But now I did delete everything again including the BB folder and reinstalled the program. Everything went even worth. Opening the BIAB the following 2 advices appear on the screen:   Quitting the programs mantains the same advice as told before.

"Cannot create file ..." / "Zugriff verweigert ..." are typical error messages in cases s.b. does not have appropriate write access to some drive/directory or whatnot. Right click onto the respective drive or folder and check via properties on your security settings. Make sure to assign appropriate rights to yourself. You may need to log in as administrator for this endeavor. Maybe you could ask some knowledgeable friend to walk you through the necessary steps.
Good luck
Martin

Cudo, Have a look at Technical FAQ #100 at the following URL. http://www.pgmusic.com/techfaq35.htm#100I have Windows Vista and, around 5 or 6 years ago, I chose to disable User Account Control (option 5 in the FAQ). I left it disabled and have not had a problem. Try disabling UAC and see if it solves your quitting issue. You can then re-anable UAC if you wish. By testing UAC out, it will allow us to see if this is what is causing your problem. Regards, Noel

An easier way to test if it's a permissions problem (which I'm sure it is) is to right-click the BiaB icon and select "Run As Administrator".
If you can successfully quit BiaB after doing that, then it IS a permissions problem.
Hope that helps.
Ole

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
