Last night I installed BIAB 2016 for windows. Unfortunately, NONE of my STYLES are working. I have tried many styles from each of the categories. When I play a "premade demo of the style", it plays fine. Unfortunately, when I then click OK, then try to play MY chords using the chosen style, I get no sound and this message; "Not found. This means you do not have the real track that is required for this style or solo. Help!

What pack have you bought please?
If you only installed the BB2016 prog itself then maybe it's waiting for you to install the Styles you got.

Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2016 (432)
I'm fairly certain that I installed the Styles.
Any suggestions?

Ralph,

In addition to Ian's question....

I notice that you registered with the forum in 2013. Does this mean that you've been using an older version of BIAB that worked fine and now, after the 2016 installation, BIAB is not working?

Also, if you did own an older version, did you do the install of 2016 directly on top of the previous version or did you set it up in a new directoy/folder?

Regards,
Noel

Ian and Noah,
My version is "Plus Pak". Also, I had BIAB 2011 on a laptop which is no longer working. That is why I've been on the Forum since 2013. Unfortunately, the discs associated with 2011 BIAB were stolen. Therefore, 2016 is a new install for this PC. Thanks.

Ralph,

If by "Plus Pak" you mean the Plus Pak at $129, then you need to contact PG Music and talk to experienced staff. As you can see at the below webpage, the Plus Pak must be installed over BIAB 2015 and not BIAB 2011.

Contact phone numbers can be found under the "Support" tab at the top of this webpage.

Regards,
Noel
