My 4 year old desktop Gateway's motherboard went south. Ive ordered a HP Pavilion P6313W. I figured since I was going to have to reinstall all my programs on the new machine, it would be a good time to update from 2009.5 to 2010.5. Will I have to reinstall my 09.5 to get the 10.5 upgrade to load?

Also, Everything was going along fine with XP. Should I expect any problems with Windows 7 ?

thanks
Martin

In my opinion, No and No.

The only reason I can think of to reload 2009.5 first, then 2010.5, would be if you received any extra "pacs" that came with 2009.5 as a special at the time.

Your Windows 7 - is it 32-bit or 64-bit? The VSC, if you were using that, doesn't work in 64-bit, but there is a Coyote Wavetable workaround.

Hey Martin.
You should be able to just install the 2010.5 fine. I assume you'll be getting the HD version?
BTW I live 100 miles West of you.
Any gigs in Asheville or west of Asheville for a guy doing Country and Oldies R&R solo with RB?
I set up my friends computer with Win7/64 and had no problems. Sometimes disabling UAC helps a lot with issues.
PM me if you have any info on gigs.
Thanks

The HP will have the Win 7 Home Premium 64 installed. I don't use the vsc anymore, since I got RB. Just use the biab midi to get my song structure down, then use all RTs. I assume the vsc doesn't apply to RTs, only midi. Is this correct?

Yes, the VSC and the Coyote Wavetable only apply to MIDI.

Just FYI, when you say you are using "BIAB MIDI', you must have been using something - the Microsoft MIDI Mapper, the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, the VSC, Coyote Forte (not free) - but something. BIAB does not have a "native" MIDI player; you had to have selected one.

I was either using MS GS Wavetable or my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card.

Also I have always wondered if the updates supply most of the past biab styles. It seems in the past when loading new releases onto a new machine I would have to go to my ext hd bakup and copy over lots of styles from past releases that were missing. Is it best to let those old ones go? Have they been replaced by similar but better ones?

I think it's a combination. There are some bonus 'pacs' that are not carried forward, and that's what I referred to in my earlier post Everything else, though, is, to my knowledge. Plus, within the last year, some of the older styles got a makeover anyway.

Well, the VSC or Wavetable DXi synths only apply if you want to hear MIDI, BUT -- if you want to use the Automatic Render function, you need to have a DXi synth of some sort installed. The Coyote WT that ships with BB now is free and will do that for you.
