Hi LynB

I also had this problem until I did the following. You may have already tried this, but I offer it as a suggestion. I got this idea from somewhere in the forum and was happy to see it worked!

1. I opened up my security suite, in my case, Microsoft Essentials (anti-virus, etc.). Yours should have similar settings.

2. I went to settings, then “Exclude files and locations” and put in the named files you see below for exclusion.
C:bb
C:\bb\bbw.exe
C:bb\bbw3.exe
C:RealBand

3. Then I went to “Excluded file types" and put in:
SEQ. File

Doing this eliminates the time it takes for the security program to search for file viruses in the BIAB & RB programs and in any of my SEQ file(s)when Real Band is opening. I trust BIAB and RB programs and my SEQ files to be virus free. It makes my BIAB and Real Band programs open up much faster.
