Hello Frank,

My further experimentation:
On the Vista 64 machine (which has 6GB memory) B&B and Vista64 seems to work without the VST/Dxi using the Midi driver but with any Real Tracks produces an error indicating that the beatmap BT0 is incorrect which results in a lock up.

Also clicking the icon for either B&B or Real Band on the external “Everything Pak” gives an error(s) although clicking on the icons on the desktop will make them run. The errors when attempting to run from the PG external disc are numerous such as:

For Real Band
a)Your computer crashed last time you ran RealBand
b)Cannot create file OrigTB.ini
c)List index out of bounds
d)Access violation etc




Ok -- these errors are most likely due to User Account Control being enabled - it doesn't allow the program to write files to the USB drive. The easiest solution is to turn User Account Control off (Control panel - user accounts...). If you don't want to turn UAC off, then it is best to install the programs on your internal hard drive. You can leave the RealTracks on the USB drive, and just point Band-in-a-Box to a custom RealTracks folder on that drive. If you still get the bt0 error when you run Band-in-a-Box like this, you can solve it by updating to a recent build of 2009.

One other item is that on the Vista 32 comp when I exit B&B the desktop appears but then a message saying B&B stopped working
Vista is working on the problem ??



This error happens on some computers, we aren't sure why - it is harmless, try to ignore it.
