So, I downloaded the update for BIAB 2024 to 2025. I ran the install and when it's all finished and it starts BIAB. It asks to update the styles, which it did. But, after that - all I see is a BIAB icon in the Windows taskbar. If I click it I see a small (tiny) window, but that's it. If I right-click on it - I see a list BIAB songs that I worked on in a list, Pin to taskbar, and Close. That's it! It's like the interface is not showing at all.
I'm running a Dell Optiplex 7010 with 8 GB or RAM. It has Windows 10 Home version 22H2 - OS build 19045.5371.
Very frustrated. I had zero issues when I installed BIAB 2024.

Hi Frank.
I haven't encountered this problem before. If you restart BIAB, under the OPTIONS menu, you will find a selection to "Return to factory settings". Click on that and then click on the option that says "MOST".
I've usually found that when BIAB does strange things, a return to factory settings often fixes it. Using the "MOST" option will keep your audio and midi set-up intact.
If you cannot get to the "Options" menu, close BIAB and do the following.
In \bb\Prefences... 1) rename the file MySetup.DK to MySetup.DK.old and 2) rename the file intrface.bbw to intrface.bbw.old. Once that is done, restart BIAB. Renaming the files will force BIAB to create new ones. Renaming the files rather than deleting also allows the older files to be retrieved if needed. You will need to reconfigure your audio and MIDI set-up after doing this. It is the ultimate factory reset.
Let us know how it goes.
Regards,
--Noel

I never get to a screen - that's the problem. I literally just have an Icon in the taskbar. There is no main window with menus and icons. Nothing.

Excellent! It's a good trick to keep in mind. When you get a chance, would you mind clicking on "Resolved" in your original post. This helps other users identify useful thread. --Noel ★ my latest song: My Home (vocals by Synth V’s vocaloids, Kevin and Solaria)
