Just to make absolutely sure that it's not (b), could you please load in the Sampletank soft synth (you're probably quite and expert at this now!) and go to preferences.



Check the path for the root directory. From what you've said, it should be ...

c:\Program files(x86)\IK Multimedia\Instruments

After pressing "Prefs" (#1), I'd use the "Browse" (#2) button to navigate to the above directory and then hit OK until you exit everything.

We need to make absolutely sure that the default directory is set properly.

Also, after setting the above, close everything and fully power down your computer (do not simply put it on standby). Now restart the computer and see if the problem still exists.

Noel, I changed the path for the root directory as you instructed (c:\Program files(x86)\IK Multimedia\Instruments).....and now it works from within BIAB! That is, when I click on "Select Hi-Q MIDI Synth Patch....) The path had been set to c:\Program files(x86)\IK Multimedia\Instruments\Band-in-a-Box\.

THANK YOU!

Now one last question. Should or should I not install Sampletank VST? I only have DXI installed, and I really don't want fix something that's not broken. What's the difference between VST and DXI anyway?

Thanks again!
