Eric,

First in Band-in-a-Box save the song project under a new name (to protect your work. Close BiaB, open BiaB, load the song project with the new name. Does the new project crash?

If the new project crashes then open the new project in RealBand. Save the new project under a second new name but with the same suffix. In other words you want the song project to remain a MGU or SGU file.

Open Band-in-a-Box and load the SGU or MGU file saved with RealBand. Does it crash? If so then the song project is likely corrupt beyond repair.

Sometimes saving a project under a new name or opening a project in another program will repair a file.
