This still pulls up all the RealTrack soloists but I can no longer select a track and hit the green play arrow or the black stop button in the lower right of that window. The progress indicator no longer works and the volume cannot be changed. The only way to get the soloist to play is to double click the soloist description line and then it can't be stopped except to hit "OK Regenerate" or "Cancel" out of the Soloist box altogether. I returned to Factory Settings twice, once with "Return Most..." and another time with "Return all..." No change. If I remember correctly this has something to do with Windows but I can't remember what it is. Got to be something simple, its always worked before. Any thoughts?

Let's hold off until we get a few more replies from other users and see if we can get to the bottom of this.

I don't think that this is a bug but I do think it has something to do with Windows sound. Anybody else have any experience with this?

But it fails to load (see other threads where others are also having this problem.) I reverted back to Build 713 and BIAB works fine again EXCEPT now it has this same strange problem as described above! So, not only is this a problem but reverting back to a previous build does NOT completely revert you back to that build!
