>> I change from ST2 to 3 then save the file, open back up and guess what! NO saving going on, it defaults back to ST2.

If you are using a BB style that has hard coded Hi-Q sounds, then those are hard coded to use SampleTank 2 (ST2). So if you load the style again, you'd get ST2.

============ Technical information about how plugin settings (TGS) are stored and loaded from styles **************
This all occurs in the c:\bb\DX settings folder. In that folder, you'd see TGS files - these are called "groups" and store settings for a specific VST setup. You can load or save groups (TGS files) in the VST plugin dialog in BB (There are buttons alled Load Group and Save Group).

So a BB style might be hard coded to use "Hi-Q 050 01 Strings, Ensemble, Movie SampleTank.tgs" and then BB loads c:\bb\DX Settings\Hi-Q 050 01 Strings, Ensemble, Movie SampleTank.tgs when that style is loaded. That would be hard coded to SampleTank2.

Note that you can edit a style with the StyleMaker to change these assisngments, including loading your own TGS files (StyleMaker-Misc-More and then set or clear the TGS settings that you want
