I just went through about an hour of computer hell. I was going through a directory of midi files and they mostly played fine. I'm using my Sonic Cell for midi. Here's some problems:

1. I'm still getting an occasional glitch where the midi drums suddenly stop playing. I'll stop the song for whatever reason and hit play again and no drums. I've reported this before. Usually closing/reopening RB fixes it. This time it didn't. Closing RB and shutting my SC off/on didn't help either. It took a reboot, then the drums are back. This was more serious than what happened before with the midi drums.

2. After the reboot I played a few midi's that were ok then picked a Biab song just for a diversion. I got a Biab error #5 and an access violation, cleared the access violation and got another error saying the style didn't exist. Fine, we've all seen that before but no window to select another style. I tried to close RB but got a window saying it was initializing so I let it sit for several minutes but no help, I still got that box. Did the task manager thing to force a close and it would not close but I noticed the file menu was black so I went there and hit open and could pick a different file, a midi this time and it opened but with another access violation but now at least I could close RB. I reopened it again and it opens with another access violation. Went to close it and got the box about initialization and another access violation. Waited a few more minutes, still would not close. I went around in circles like this a few more times and finally went to Start and did a Restart with RB open. Got a few more error boxes and the system restarted. Here's my final point. After the last reboot I did all this again with the same result and I'm thinking ok I'll just copy RB over from my HD, somethings gotten corrupted with my C drive install. This last time when I went to close down RB I did it by remembering you can right click on the task bar icon and hit close, when I did that RB closed and what do I see on the screen? The style picker window! That was the problem all along, that style picker was stuck behind everything and wouldn't let RB close! Jeeze Louise guys, FIX THAT! I went through this dance three times, rebooted three times, reopened RB a bunch of times, access violations flying around all over the place and the problem is a hidden window that I could not see until I hit close by right clicking the task bar icon. Nothing else I tried would allow me to see that style picker. I was locked out of doing the normal 'hit the x' close because of the initialization error box and trying to force a close using the task manager didn't work either. Looking at what I initially wrote I see that Biab error #5 was trying to tell me the style picker window was open but stuck behind everything else. Well, excuse me for not realizing that. This needs to be addressed.

Somebody can probably test this if you happen to have a Biab song that you downloaded that uses a style you don't have. Try it in Biab first to confirm you don't have the style, then open it in RB and see what happens.

NOW I remember people have posted before about different windows getting trapped behind RB's main screen and causing problems.

Just closing RB and rebooting yet again didn't fix my problem though, I just opened RB again and again it opened with an access violation so I'm going to reboot and copy it over from the HD, all this fun has screwed something up with the C drive install.
