As long as you didn't save the file back to the hard drive after the lyrics didn't appear, they should be there. BIAB doesn't overwrite your song files unless you tell them to.

Here's what I would do. I would reboot the computer, delete those two files again (both at the same time - make sure BIAB isn't open at the time). Then launch BIAB and select your ports when it asks you for them, then exit BIAB. I would then re-install the latest patch (just to be sure). Right click on the BIAB icon and make sure it is set to "run as administrator" (on the compatibility tab), then re-launch BIAB. Go to the RealTracks settings and make sure the location for RealTracks is set correctly; likewise for RealDrums. Then open Stylepicker and rebuild the stylepicker.

Hit play on the blank chord grid just to make sure everything plays correctly (it will just play the C chord in whatever style is currently displayed).

Then, I would open one of my song files to see if you can access the lyrics.

Sounds like a lot, but it should take you all of about 2-3 minutes to do the above.

Then report back as to what you got. If it still doesn't work, perhaps post one of your song files that you know has lyrics so we can take a look at it in our environment.
