Hi Matt,
Thanks for chiming in. The error message does not point to any one program. It just reads, "The system cannot find the file specified at 004EC6E9." After I click
OK, I get, "Access violation 0081D130. Read of address: 000001C." In typical Microsoft fashion, you never get any information that helps, and I really think their program is at the heart of this. My biggest fear is after reinstalling Windows, I'll be back to square one with the same issue. Hopefully, I won't.
Cubase 8, Audacity, and Wavelab 7 LE all run as smooth as a kitten. I'm using the Steinberg UR44 interface with the drivers up to date. I even tried the generic Realtek sound interface that came with my computer. Do you think it's worth a try uninstalling Cubase? My IT guy implied that the solution resides in reinstalling Windows, and then installing BIAB as the very first program on the list.
I have installed the most recent updates from PG Music as well. My install was done to C:\bb. Should I try insalling it elsewhere? This probably wouldn't make any difference because it still relies on the very unreliable Bill Gates products

.
If no one can give me any further help, perhaps you can point me in a different direction. Thanks.
