If you open Prefs/Display and attempt to display more than 32 rows I get 'Access Violation' then freeze and crash. PG Support suggested changing BBW.exe to Administrator status but that doesn't stop it. I know, I could just forget about asking for more rows, but I just want to know (a) is 32 the maximum? (b) is the error the same for everyone? If 32 is the maximum then there should be a program sub-routine to display a popup to that effect rather than initiate a crash.

When I try to restart the program I get an error until I delete the interface.bbw file. Kevin Last edited by Kevin Woolley; 12/17/16 07:05 AM.

Kevin I too had to use the task manager to terminate BB... however, it started up just fine after that without deleting the intrface.ini file. Some nuances to this issue, apparently.

It seems to have fixed the maximum row issue, although I need to do more testing. John Songs web site YouTube Channel BIAB 2024 Cakewalk by BandLab Studio One 7
