Thanks Noel, I think the problem was in the compression and archiving of my backup files but I just remembered that I had bought a hard drive version of BIAB back in 2011 so I looked it up and tried downloading it and it worked, so I have an active program now on my computer just need to get the later versions of 2013 and some styles that I had bought separately and I will be up to date again.
Thanks also for the welcome back. Yes, it has been a long time since I've been active on the forums. I haven't had much time to work on my music as we are taking care of our little great, great granddaughter while her mommy works days and goes to school nights. She's working on her nursing degree. At my age (81) I can't do much of the lifting and toting anymore but with hubby and I working as a team we get the job done but it doesn't leave much time for anything else.
By the way I took your suggestion and went and listened to your songs. You have some really nice sounding songs on there. Enjoyed the listen!
