1. Your FP32.exe size and dates are identical to mine (I'm running Win 7 Pro 64 and PT2016) so that's probably not an issue.

Are you running Win 10 by chance? If so, didn't Win 10 (last week?) just remove QuickTime as a security risk now that Apple won't support updates on MS OS?

Agree the price was (and is) GREAT for a DAW but upgrades from ANY previous version is still only $29 - so not sure where you got "price went up" ????

4. As to your over all problems:

a) I TRULY hope you get them fixed (I'd uninstall, clean-up i.e., make sure nothing is left behind, and then do a reinstall and to a new directory name), and


b) I cannot believe the "NAG" is a PG Music corp. "ad" trying to get you to buy BIAB. It's simply your PTPA configuration is having issues (wish I could help you get them sorted out) with making PTPA LOOK to the correct directory(s)/paths for "stuff." Or your install is partially corrupted (see comment above - uninstall/reinstall it's a trivial install anyway)


Maybe something like (I'm blindly SPIT BALLING here) the following is the issue:

maybe the StyleLocation.ini (a text editable file) in "X:\PT2016 (or whatever you named it)\Data\StyleLocation.ini" is looking to the default "C:\BB\" directory path, which doesn't exist becasue you don't have Band in a Box, instead of PowerTracks directory?


Good Luck!
