Well, I can read the blue screen...it hangs around. It talks about "access violation" then gives incomprehensible code #s, which I haven't memorised. I'm using an M-Audio Ozone as my asio driver/soundcard/MIDI input device. I've got it set as both input and output driver, I don't know if that's a problem or not and I couldn't find any advice about it in manual or help menu...perhaps I don't know what to look for. I'm using the VSC DXi as my General MIDI generator.

I did a check disk and refrag, by the way, and at this point RB and BIAB seem to be behaving much better. We'll see how it goes!

I appreciate all the help! It's an amazing set of programs and there's a lot of functions, I've been reading the manual and the tutorials and the amount of things you can do is truly head-spinning. At this point I'm using it a lot as a practice tool, but as an extremely reluctant engineer and producer of my own CDs I can see where it could be really useful there too. I don't play keys well and don't play drums at all, so some of these generated tracks could be just the ticket...if I can figure it out a bit better. Thanks again.
