I just tryed to load build 317 but it say's that I have biab older than 2009, I've been
abled to load all the other updates before this one. I purchase the Ultra pack in Dec
2010 or Jan 2011 when it was first offered. The little blue book that came with it says
BIAB Version 2011 for Windows New Features Guide. and the program that came in a box
says BIAB up312, before this I had BIAB 2007 and it is still loaded should I uninstalled
2007 and if I do will I lose all the songs that I make in it when that was my only
program. Thank Frank

Hi Frank,
Was BIAB open when you tried to update? If so, make sure it's shutdown and try again. Just a thought.

Noel BIAB was off when I tried to load it and I just tried again I had everything off this time (meaning
the internet) last time I had the internet on but I still got a message that I had an older BIAB than 2009.
Thank you for your quick response.
Best Frank

Frank,
Something else that might be worth checking is that the path to your location of BIAB that comes up during the installation is correct. I've just installed the Realband update and the default path was c:\Realband. This was incorrect for me as my RB is d:\Realband. I had to change it.
Just another thought.

Noel Sorry I'm just getting back to you. I'm pretty sure my default is c:\bb but still get the same message
as before " older than 2009" Thanks for the help though.

Is it me or is stating the following a bit nebulous?
Added: Some new style definitions
Is there anywhere to find more specifics on this? If not, a more detailed description would be very helpful.
Thanks,
R

>>> Some new style definitions
These aren't new styles, just information show that existing styles all show up in the stylepicker with correct information.
Have Fun!

Aaah, no, the window scrolling problem is still manifesting itself in my system after using the DAW mode. I think I'll have to find shorter songs
