Something likely got corrupted in one of the two key setup files. A crash or freeze or other sudden stop of the program can do this, not to worry, you can Return to Factory Settings by following the directions below. Be sure that RB is NOT running first: Quote:
RealBand uses the files listed below for configuration. If you want to restore RealBand to the factory settings, you can delete or rename these files. The next time you launch RealBand, new configuration files will be created. This can help solve or troubleshoot odd and unexplainable problems you are having with the program. The files are found in the root RealBand folder, usually C:\RealBand. Important: You must have RealBand closed when you do this.
We recommend renaming the files (rather than deleting them) or saving a copy of them somewhere else on your hard drive so that you have a backup of your old configuration. For example, you could rename realband.ini to realband.old. Later, if you find that you need to restore your previous settings, you can delete the new realband.ini file that RealBand will have created, and rename realband.old to realband.ini
Note: Some people have trouble finding the files because Windows hides file extensions. In any folder on your computer, go to the Tools menu and click on Folder Options, then click on the View tab and make sure 'Hide extensions for known file types' is unchecked. On Windows 98/ME, the Folder Options item is found under the View menu.
REALBAND.INI. This file contains most of the global RealBand settings, especially the settings in the Options | Preferences and Options | MIDI Devices dialogs. It also has a list of the most recently accessed song files.
RB.CFG. This file contains information about your sound card.
The two files above contain most of your program settings; it is usually only necessary to delete those two files.

Thanks Mac - but it didn't work - I deleted REALBAND.INI. and
RB.CFG. and saved a copy to My Docs before I deleted from RB
and new configuration files weren't created - RB was not running when I did this - I then restarted the PC
but no luck - All I see is the real band icon and name in a minimized window but it will not open or expand???
Regards
Spencer

spencerwho,
Have you tried running a re-install from the USB drive (as per the readme file on the USB drive's root directory)?
Please note that if you have made significant modifications to BIAB's setup, a reinstall will probably overwrite these. If BIAB/RB ran without modification after you first installed, then a re-install is the way that I'd go. (You won't need to re-install all Realtracks and Realdrums.)
Regards,
Noel

I'm not sure why a reinstall doesn't work. Did the reinstall program run ok?

Sounds like the icon is a link to the wrong location.
Use windows explorer to open RB, if it opens get rid of the icon and make a new shortcut.
Did you move RB after reinstall?
Did the drive get hooked to a different USB port and change letters? Any of these could make a shortcut icon get 'broken'.
Try ctri-alt-delete and see if Realband, BBW or BBW2 is running in the background. If so end process and retry launching RB

What was the problem spencerwho? If you've got 5 mins to post a line or two let us know which solution worked, it will be useful knowledge for us to help someone else a little bit down the track.
Glad it's all fixed,
Noel

Not exactly sure what I did - but I removed all traces of BIAB from computer then dragged REALBAND.INI. and RB.CFG. back into RB (I had saved the originals to My Docs) and did a reinstall and downloaded the latest updates and everything worked - thanks once again
