Each time I try to view the 'styles' by pushing the Styles button I get the following message:
"For first time use, the stylepicker list of styles needs to be rebuilt. When it is being rebuilt, would you like it to find all styles, including ones that you have made (this may take about 30 seconds)."
I get this message every time and it does take at least thirty seconds to regenerate.
I have version 2009 - I downloaded the lastest updates, I tried resetting to Factory defaults, I've closed and reopened the program but nothing seems to work. My previous versions would allow me to change styles 'on the fly', but this 'rebuilding' at each time I select stlyes totally has me flustered.
I'm running Windows Vista on an HP laptop with: AMD Turion™ 64 x2 2.1 GHz with 4 gig of RAM
I went back 15 pages in the forum but didn't see anything related to this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Illiance,
There have been a few instances when unexplainable silly things happen and sometimes it is just down to a corrupted or missing item.
We have normally solved this by making sure that all virus/popup and spyware programs are temporarily disabled and then re-install BIAB again over the existing one
Look at this first

Hi Illiance, We have an FAQ on this issue, which states: The most probable cause of this is that you are using Band-in-a-Box on a USB hard drive that you purchased from us, and you have Windows Vista with User Account Control enabled. When the StylePicker needs to be rebuilt (such as when you first run the program, or when you install new styles), the file RebuildStylePicker.txt is present in the bb folder. In this case, Band-in-a-Box rebuilds the style list then deletes the file. If your computer has strict security settings, Band-in-a-Box does not have permission to delete the file, so the list is continually rebuilt. Not having permission to modify the contents of the bb folder would result in a number of other errors as well. The best solution is to disable User Account control (Windows Control Panel | User Accounts). Another option is to run the program from your C drive. If this isn't what the problem is, check the properties of the file (\bb\RebuildStylePicker.txt) and make sure it isn't set to 'read-only'. See if you can delete the file manually. If the problem persists, please feel free to contact our support staff. support@pgmusic.com Thanks!

And then again, the exact same thing happened to me, and I didn't meet any of those criteria.

Hi FirstBassman, Did you check out the other option within the FAQ: If this isn't what the problem is, check the properties of the file (\bb\RebuildStylePicker.txt) and make sure it isn't set to 'read-only'. See if you can delete the file manually. I hope the problem is resolved for you. If not, remember - you can always contact our support staff for technical assistance support@pgmusic.com

I was having the 30 sec regen problem until I turned off the User Account switch as suggested. Now my regens are instant. Thanks for the fix. The only weird thing is when I searched my \bb\ directory, the RebuildStylePicker.txt was nowhere to be found!? Why, I don't know, but my regens are instant and it works for me.
