Howdy!
Thanks John and Harv for the other problem.
I am getting a drop dpwn window in RB that says " Your BIAB box folder appears to not to be a valid BB install. If you quit now BB will not be able to generate songs"
I'm only now getting into using RB however I can navigate ok in the program.???
Thanks,
Walt

When you first load the program, does it ask where BB and realtracks are located? (in a popup) If so, look closely at the settings. Sometimes when using an external drive it gives the wrong letter for the drive. If it is defaulting to C: it may indeed not be a valid install. Make sure it points to the correct directory by using the 'Browse' button (beside the option in the popup). In order to generate and function correctly RB needs to know where to find some BiaB files. They are closely tied together that way. Below is another approach (thanks to Mac) - Quote:
*How can I return RealBand to the factory settings?
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 (*or preferably rename) those two files.

RHARV,
Thanks so much for the help.
There were 2 problems, both you addressed.
One was the drive settings,they were set to "E" the exterinal drive is "F" whick I changed.
The second was "Hide extentions for known file types" was checked, which I un-checked.
You guys are the greatest...!
Walt

HARV,
Using BIAB 2011/RB Windows7 F-drive is my BIAB hard drive.
I am still getting a "Problem Running F:\bb|stromBBX" error, after opening the "Audio Chord w/ chords" while trying to load an MP3. (BIAB2011)
As you recommended earlier (see below) I renamed the INI files and reset the "User Account " to the trird lowest setting.
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 (*or preferably rename) those two files.

That description makes no sense to me. You mention BiaB2011 (and the error seems BiaB related) but we're in the RB forum. Not sure if that error message is from BB or RB.. STOM^ should be running from the realband folder if you are in RB .. and your 'Audio Chord w/chords' doesn't sound familiar to me in RealBand.
Are you in Band-in-a-Box or Realband when it happens?
If BiaB you may want to post in that forum.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I am having a problem with Audio chord wizard and Win7. What is the initial setting for Biab audio. Then I went to stobbx.exe and changed the compatibility to sp2 should i do the same with Biab 2009 It's in my 32 bit . There is no x 64 Biab 2009 is there? I am not able to convert files.. I changed both parts to run as administrator that didn't work.

Harv,
Sorry bout that, It is RB, not BIAB.
And after some other trial & errors I found the error "Problem Running F:\Real Band\strom.EXE" is only on MP3's when either "IMPORTING or OPEN".
Thanks for correcting the post.
