Hello, It sounds like the problem is sorted now, but just in case it's not... You can get Band-in-a-Box back to the way it was on your old computer, including the various bonus items you would have got, by doing this: 1. Start by installing the program from your Band-in-a-Box 2007 MegaPAK disc. Install it to the default location, C:\bb. 2. Install from your Band-in-a-Box 2008 disc 3. Install the 2008 Summer plus pak. 4. Install the program from your Band-in-a-Box 2009 disc. That might sound like a lot, but those are really quick installations on a modern fast computer like yours. To finish up, you will want to: 1. Install the extra add-ons that you purchased, e.g. Realdrums Set 6. 2. Install the latest update for version 2009, which is 2009.5 build 287. http://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm#287If you cannot locate any of the above items, send us an email (or contact the live chat), refer to this forum post, and we'll sort it out. For the future, consider periodically making a backup of your bb folder. To do this, you can simply copy the entire bb folder to a USB hard drive for example. Then, if you need to reinstall the program again in the future, you simply need to: 1. Copy the bb folder to your new computer. 2. Install your *latest* Band-in-a-Box version and patch.

Hi Val. I just wanted to respond to your post to let everyone know that you've been taken care of. We had another member asking us to help you. Nice to see Band-in-a-Box users looking out for one another.

Well, I want to thank all of you once again. It is so good to have somewhere to turn when one finds themselves in such a situation. It is so difficult to keep abreast of all the new developements in technology these days even if one were able to spend 24 hours a day at it. I was nearly at panic stage when I thought I'd not be able to use my BIAB on my new computer. I'm gradually getting my old files transferred and everything is looking good. Since I was cautioned about not trying to use the VSC and wondering what I should use instead to get that same mellow sound instead of the "tinny sound" of the mswavetable. Any ideas? Another question is will I need the ASIO for latency issues?

Best option for midi sound quality and ease of use for your new Win7 machine:

Unfortunately another $40, but once you buy it (..and I did many years ago) you will never look back. Just be sure to save the "password" for reinstalls as the computers tend to change over the years.

Jazzmandan...Yes they do, as I just found out! Thanks for the heads up on Coyote Fortedxi. I have ordered it and will go download it just as soon I get my e-mail link. I listened to the demo recordings and they sounded real good. I'm sure I'll be happy with the sound!

I have also run into problems with windows 7/64 bit, although I did get a 32 bit version disk supplied when I purchased a laptop recently.
I fully sympathise with the posters problem ( I am approaching 74 years of age) and I think it is unreasonable of the computer industry to make drastic changes to the computer systems by imposing new versions of applications and not allowing computers to be renewed and supplied with the version of windows that you personally want.
I would like to see some government control of these sort of instances, we in Europe eventually made Microsoft allow our personal choice of browsers and I think further legislation is needed along these sort of lines.
Pg music could also be perhaps more obliging with upgrades (at moderate costs)when these systems change even if it is perhaps only a web download to get things running on new systems.
I have not upgraded my programs because I am browned off with this sort of thing.

Fully understand this part. I work with several "senior" folks to keep them up and running so I see first hand the problems caused by changing technology. Even us young wippersnappers get frustrated at times.

This one I don't want to touch with a 10 foot pole. Personnally, I avoid any political discussion in this forum.

Hey, no fair. Didn't they do all they could and fully address this with Val?
