Nope....same crapola. One thing I notice when I plug in the USB drive, I see this (attached pic) in the Windows Explorer window. I am running BIAB from Windows Explorer by the way. So far, I've been running it from the top E:\ drive seen in this picture. I have no idea why I'm getting two sessions of my E:\ drive showing up. That didn't happen in Windows 7. Then again, I can't open this forum from Chrome anymore either. I must use MS Edge! Another Gatesism!!
))) After that I can set the ASIO drivers but a box appears that says PG PeakLimit
Let's avoid ASIO drivers for now. They are a source of all kinds of crashes.
In the BB folder, get back to factory settings by deleting files intrface.bbw and mysetup.dk. Then run the bbw.exe program and see if there is a difference. And then run RealBand.exe but don't select ASIO.
- Deleted the said files from the USB drive. - Opened Real Band - Message - Do you want to configure the ASIO device. Answer "No." - An exception error has occurred. - PG PeakLimit window is displayed and hung
My opinion...I need to do a clean install of Windows 10. The devil that inhabited my Windows 7 system has hooked its ugly claw into the Windows 10 update for the free ride. At least with a clean Windows 10 install, it would take 1/10 the time of trying to load 4 years of Windows 7 updates, most of which would cause a living hell to my system and probably fail!
I can't speak for Windows 10, but since you don't see this 2nd instance drive (E) with Win 7 or your other XP system, I give the blame to Win 10. And, I think you are correct on a clean install (although if the Win 10 you have is an upgrade, it likely will not let you do a clean install, courtesy of MS). Too late for Win7, but if you had a Win 7 environment still, I was going to ask if you had a system restore point just prior to the glitches, and/or a registry backup prior to these events (again, Win 7 scenario).
Rich, once you do the free Windows 10 upgrade, you can do a clean install. You'll need a Windows 10 DVD (which is downloadable as an ISO file), but as long as you registered with Microsoft, you can do the clean install on the same machine.

Thanks for the info and setting me straight...that's a departure from MS past. Glad they gave the customer a break and let them do a clean install (albeit involving having to download a DVD image after you upgrade).
My only experience with Windows 10 is disabling and removing the nuisance "Free update to Windows 10" alert in Win 7 (although you've got to be on your toes, because they try to sneak it in the Win 7 Updates, even though it's previously been hidden).
Excellent points, gents. And yes, after you have upgraded from 7 to 10, you have proven you have a valid 7 license and are entitled to a 10 full install. I have two full image backups of my 7. One was made using the MS Backup and Restore, the other with third party software that performed a bit to bit comparison (and passed). Before wiping this drive clean I will do an image backup of 10.
My only concern is reloading Office 2010. I need that in my professional world. Windows 10 wasn't around when Office 2010 was released. Hopefully, it will load and work. It should because it works perfectly now. Thoughts?
I think I answered that Office question awhile back; you should be fine.
But I want to go back to the anti-virus.
Windows 10 has its own, running quietly in the background. On top of that, we're talking about several others and that still concerns me. Malwarebytes comes in two forms; the one that isn't free stays loaded and vigilant, separate from the scans you decide to run, so you could have at least three running. Something to consider when Dr. Gannon agreed in the beginning that this could be a cause.

Did you try this (above)
Also what is the size and date of your bbw.exe file.
If that all fails, since neither Realband or Band-in-a-Box run, I'm wondering if it's some interaction with the sound cards.
"Steinberg UR44 interface with the drivers up to date. I even tried the generic Realtek sound interface that came with my computer"
- for diagnostic purposes, try unplugging the UR44 and rebooting Windows.
Well I made all the suggested changes, plugged the USB drive back in and it doesn't appear in Windows Explorer. In fact, it doesn't appear anywhere. So I tried plugging it into my old XP machine. It doesn't show up there either.
In all these error messages I've been getting there was references to missing file numbers but also the words, "in module 'E:\bbw.exe'" (perhaps without the drive letter). Sadly, that information may have been handy earlier?? If so, my apologies.
Is it possible I have a defective USB drive? I purchased it from Long and McQuade, Cobourg. Should I bundle it and get an exchange? I can't even test it now.
Also, all other drives show up in Windows 10 and XP. For example, thumb drives etc...

Is the drive still under warranty? If so, consider getting it replaced.
Note that it's not uncommon for the internal drive to become disconnected from the data cable. Is the case openable to do a visual check to verify that everything is seated correctly? (Mind your warranty options).
Also, presumably you have rebooted the computer before checking again. I've seen cases where USB ports have become completely unresponsive, and its taken a reboot to resolve.

My most recent attempt to run BIAB resulted in an error message, "Your internet security settings have prevented the program from running..." or something similar. I researched the issue and found my user account settings in Windows became corrupted during the upgrade. I edited the registry and all's well.
Unfortunately, I still have the same error messages when I open BIAB. So.....tomorrow I'm going to do a clean install of Windows 10. Wish me luck! Thanks for all the help folks!

Thanks, Peter. It shows up in the Windows Explorer tree now. I must have not plugged it in all the way or the USB socket on the computer is slightly worn. At any rate, I think I'm good. Now, to the clean install of Windows 10 so I can have fun .
