Hi rharv & Noel96,

Thanks for the help...disabled speedup generation of realtracks as suggested and that seems to have done the trick..thanks.

Re the spec of my computer...I bought Guitar Pro 5 and it kept crashing - helpfull people on the web said it looked like a RAM problem (I only had 0.5 GB.) When I took the machine to the shop they said they could add 1 GB as it was or would have to replace RAM completely...looks like I made wrong decision and will have to go large anyway!!

Re the chord finder - looks like my S3 Prosavage DDR may need upgrading..have tried searching the web with little success (S3 pro savage site confused hell out of me...too many options!!).

Is emachines a web site I can use to upgrade?

I can see it will be sometime before I stop appearing in the forums as a newbee (!), but thanks to you guys I feel that progress as been made and I can start to "do something" with BIAB. Thanks again,

Regards,

Dave
