I just launched RB and did a 'Merge to Compressed File' on a huge SEQ file I have (500 meg) using latest version
It asked for a WAV file name
(I clicked OK)
RB did its merge routine ..
It then asked for a compressed file format/attributes (screen shot below).
On my system LAME mp3 and Fraunhofer mp3 each have their own slot in the Format drop down (example image of this posted in earlier post in this thread; LAME is labeled as such and MPEG-Layer3 is the Fraunhofer codec installed on the OS)
Does yours not do this?

If so I suspect changing back to W7 lost your MP3 codecs ..
I'm just trying to help.

Once gain; if the selected MP3 codec is not installed to the OS, RB will fail (and possibly crash)
