Hi Folks !
I tried to open today BIAB 2009 (282) and I got the following error:
"The system cannot find the file specified at: 004A79E5"
"Access violation at address 00596BOE in module "BBW.EXE" write address
00000008 at: 00596BOE"
RealBand error: "List index out of bounds at: 0042509D"
PowerTraksPro: "List index out of bounds at: 0042509D"
I tried to restore factory settings, but does not work.
Everything has worked really well all the time.
My System:
Windows XP Pro SP3
Intel Core2 Quad CPU
Q9400 @ 2.66 Ghz
2 GB of RAM
Audiocards:
M-Audio 2496
EMU 0404
Please help me !
Greetings,
popboy

Look in the bb folder and locate the following two files:
intrface.bbw
MySetup.DK
Drag them out of the bb folder (do not copy but MOVE) onto the desktop.
Try to start up BIAB now.
It should create new files of the same name and factory reset itself if all else is not corrupted.
If it works, go ahead and delete the two from the desktop. (if it doesn't work, you can put them back in there)

Hi pobjoy
Have you done a disc clean or similar cleanup operation recently - can you use System Restore to take you back to before the problem

Hello popboy,
In your bb folder, look for the file PluginScanLog.log, and open this with notepad. This might give you some information if the problem is happening during the DirectX plugin scan...

No way.Everytime,when i open BIAB or RealBand
error is: "The system cannot find the file specified at: 004A79E5"
I can´t understand, cause all the other musicprograms work normally.
(Cubase 5, Reason 4,Sibelius 5, Sonar 7,Wavelab 6)
Something really badly wrong?

Did you try the "return to factory settings" function?
I think if you tried Mac's suggestion it already incorporates that.
Good luck!

It is important that Band-in-a-Box is closed when you delete the 'intrface.bbw' and 'mysetup.dk' files. Often, when getting such error messages, Band-in-a-Box might not close properly (even if it appears to be closed). So, to ensure that Band-in-a-Box is definitely closed, restart the computer and delete those files before you open Band-in-a-Box.
If you still get the errors, you should try exploring the firewire drive in Windows. It is possible that you will have trouble opening some files on the drive. If so, it would be worth a shot to try installing Band-in-a-Box on your C drive and see if you get similar errors (if you do, then it is most likely a hardware problem).

Try running CHKDSK on the firewire drive from the CMD screen in Windows. Might actually have a corrupted file on the external drive. Ooops, didn't read carefully to see that you get the error with BIAB on your main drive and also on an external one. Try it anyway.

Are you saying you looked at the pluginscanlog.log file, or were you responding to a different post? In any case, the symptoms suggest that it is a plugin scan problem, and if you have a look at that file it might (hopefully) tell you exactly what the problem is.

Hi Andrew, and thanks to you and other members of helping. So you said,the symptoms suggest that it is a plugin scan problem. Every time I tried to open BIAB I noticed that before the error message a plugin "Sony Noise Gate" will stop and cause an error message. I downloaded from www.analogx.com free DXMan tool (manage DX Plug-In) and disable all the Sony plugs.I opened BIAB and all work perfectly. Then I allowed one by one Sony Plugins and now everything works fine. Greetings, popboy
