I am new to Real Band. I have version 2017 (1). I just installed it, but I am having a tech problem. I get an error message saying: Error Starting ASIO driver, If problem persists try rebootting windows.
I have tried, but the error keeps persisting. Any ideas?

Many thanks.
Which ASIO driver are you trying to use?
Are you certain it is installed correctly?
Which device is using this driver?
Screenshots of driver setup windows help as well.
Band-in-a-Box PlusPAK Upgrade (2018) on Windows 10 Live instruments: Schecter Solo-6 Custom, Fender Mustang III v2.
It may be that some other app is already using the ASIO driver, which is why RB gets an 'error starting ASIO' (many times ASIO can only be used by one app at a time)
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
Beside Post Options (in the same row) is File Manager. It's not big and noticeable, but it is there. Directly under the Post Box, right above 'Add this Thread' you mention above .. unless you have some kind of browser restriction running .. are you running NoScript or anything?
/I should have added image sooner/

It sounds like you might be stuck at the 'Quick Reply' window. If that's the case, click on the "Switch to full reply screen" button that I've highlighted on the image below.
The graphics are great. These show your Windows set up well.
What would be really good to have would be the preferences setup in Realband (RB).
1. To do this follow #1, #2, #3 on the below image.
2. Click on the button I've labelled #4 and select ASIO.
3. If the ASIO window (#6, #7) doesn't appear, click on #5 (Drivers).
4. Take a screen shot of your ASIO driver window (#6, #7) and post it so that we can see what ASIO drivers are present on your system.
In addition, I suggest that you download and install ASIO4ALL from the below link. Realband works well with this freeware driver and it would be a good starting place to get everything up and running.
...got it! I installed the ASIO driver that you recommended and now when I open Real band, I don't get the error message.
Perhaps that's fixed?!?!
I recorded my voice and that works fine. But when I program chords and hit play, nothing happens. The bar marker does not advance through the chords and I can't hear anything. I have a style assigned, but there is no output. The output meter doesn't move.
Could it be a midi issue? When I check the midi output I see that I have two options available but neither is currently selected. When I try to select either one, I get an error message saying that they may be in use by another program, but I don't have another program open!
Image 1 below is my midi setup. I suggest that you set yours up similarly.
1. Move Microsoft GS Wavetable to the top (#1).
2. Activate the Coyote WT DXi/VSTi. (This should have installed when you installed BIAB. If it didn't, there is an option under "BIAB | Help | Utilities" to install it. See Image 2 below.)
3. Activate the VSTi/DXi Coyote WT soft synth (#3).
1. I followed your Midi instructions, and changed my set up to be like yours, but I still get an error message when I try and select the midi device by clicking OK in that selection window. (Although I did move the Wavetable Synth to the top and select Coyote) Once I had to accept the midi error message, the Wavetable Synth went back to the botton of this list, but Coyote stayed selected!
2. The Brandy song loads and plays
3. But when I type my own chords in to RB, nothing happens. The program doesn't play, no sound comes out and the chord cursor do not advance through the chord progression. Kind of weird, isn't it?
After you've typed in the chords and selected a style, have you been using the "Generate" then "Generate all BB tracks" as shown on the image below to get the file playing? (The green arrow is to 'play' not 'generate and play'.)
Also, if midi is playing without having Microsoft GS Wavetable at the top of the driver list, that's fine.
