Just delete the entire c:/ bb folder. Band in a Box gone.

The Add/Remove Control Panel applet can be used to uninstall PG Plugins and also any DXi synth installed, if desired. Since those write to the registry, they will show up there.

When I installed BIAB there was a window asking if I want to install the Fonts. I checked it off and said yes.
Now BIAB complains that the fonts aren't there.
I did a re-install and just checked off "Install Fonts".
It worked once or twice, but now it can't see the fonts again.


I've never seen that happen in XP, but my first thing I'd do if it did is a full Reboot of the computer. Sometimes it takes that after installing programs. When it reboots, it puts all the digital ducks in a row, so to speak. So try the reboot of Windows.

And if it overwrites the file, how are you able to go back to a previous version of BIAB (it would require the older .dll with the same name)?


That's not how the programming protocol works. A DLL of the same name, but with newer enhancements added should still do everything the older one did, it just adds something else that was found to be needed after user bug reports were identified. So that .dll of the same name should work with any programs that previously needed it. I've been using BiaB for Windows since it came out. That's over a decade, going on two. I've never once encountered a problem with this. So rest easy.
