- I was trying to help out a friend and new BIAB user today.
- They have Vista. I do not, I use XP Pro.
- Plus I haven't played with BIAB in awhile.

They want to:
- creat a BIAB arrangement then save it as a WAV file.
- Then Burn it as a regular CD so it can be played on a normal CD Player.

Here is what I did...
- With BIAB open and the arrangement showing I clicked on the WAV button at the top...
- Then clicked on "Render to Wav"
- Then Vista gave me this message... "NO WAVE INPUT DEVICES ARE INSTALLED IN WINDOWS"
- I clicked OK and then it told me it was rendering
- I then used Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder with the new wav file and told it open with Windows Media Player...
- Windows Media Player opened and said it could not play the file type !

My Questions:
1 - What does the "NO WAVE INPUT DEVICES ARE INSTALLED IN WINDOWS" message mean?
2 - Why won't Windows Media Player play the wav file... unless it was rendered incorrectly? (Was it?)
3 - I tried to use the search feature in Vista to find any "WAV" file on the hard disk to confirm that WMP would actually play a WAV file... but the search feature told me there were no WAV files on the disk... I found this hard to beleive... so guessed I was using the Vista search feature incorrectly... (I told it to find *.wav) HOW do you search for a file using Vista? It never asked me which disk to search or which folder to look in... ???
4 - Is my proceedure right for creating a WAV file from a BIAB arrangement? Must I save the BIAB arrange first? I was just using 8 measures of a C chord for this test... and didn't actually save the BIAB file... just told BIAB to "render" it as a wav file.

Thanks for any help on this.
