Hi All,
Just downloaded 2017 and updated the latest patch of BinaB.
When I open old songs created in previous versions, or even enter new chords in the Chords View, I see no chords! It's just white space.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried running BiaB as Administrator? (right-click the desktop icon and select)
Also, try resetting to Factory Defaults (Options > Return to Factory Settings) - you can optionally save your current program settings first (Options > Save preferences as)

I think the return to factory settings will fix this.
If it doesn't, might you have set a color scheme such as white on white? The test would be, do the chords play normally even though you can't see them?

Thank you Matt and VideoTrack for your suggestions.
I have reset to factory settings and launched as admin, but I still have white on white. All my saved files play as normal, and if I try to blindly enter chords and generate a new song, it will do so successfully, I just don't know what the chords are.
I have experimented with display options and, although I was able to change various colors (of substyles etc.), I could not find the option to change the chord color or background color. I even experimented with my computer resolution, but to no avail.
I ran Band In A Box 2015 successfully on my Windows 8 laptop for a couple of years, but when I upgraded to Windows 10 about 18 months ago, I had a black on black chords display. Based on advice in the forum, I deleted my intrface.bbw file from he bb directory (a sort of factory reset), relaunched in admin mode, and all was good.
When I open Real Band, the chords show up just fine.
I am stumped and frustrated, but open to suggestions.

Tom,
Try changing your display settings in Windows Control Panel, open Band-in-a-Box, then set your display settings back to what you currently use. Maybe BiaB just needs to "see" something different.

Thank you, Jim.
Just before I read your post, Windows prompted me for a system upgrade. I went ahead and allowed it, launched BinaB in admin mode, and voila! the chords appeared (BinaB indeed did see something different).
Thank you all for assistance. In just 2 days, I have gone from wanting to throw my laptop in the trash to being inspired to write a new song, as well doubling my average posts to this forum over the last decade from 1/yr, to 2/yr!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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.
