When I launch the Audio Chord Wizard, the buttons do not have any labels on them. The only way I know which button is which is by looking at the manual.

Hello,
Not having the following file present in the following location will do it.
Applications/Band-in-a-Box/AudioChordWizard/ptw2_utf8.rc
Please check for the existence of this file.
Thanks,
Rob.

Thanks Rob,
I'm not home right now, but I'll check when I am.
In the event that I'm missing this file, how to I retrieve it? Do I need to do a complete reinstall?

Hello, If you are missing the file I will be able to send a copy to you from my Mac. In the event that it is indeed missing you can contact me at support@pmgusic.com and I'll send you a copy of it. Alternatively it may just be that the file is there but the files in that AudioChordWizard folder are set to read-only or no access and as you probably know in the sharing and security section of the (get info window) for this folder it can be adjusted. Thanks, Rob.

Hi Rob,
Thanks. Turns out the ptw2_utf8.rc file was on the external BIAB hard drive, but for some reason I had not copied it over to my computer's hard drive, which is where I usually run the application from. This fixed my problem.
Just want to say the Audio Chord Wizard is a great application. I've used it on a few jazz fusion tunes with weird chord changes with great results.
Thanks,
Dana
