Hi Guys

Tx for all the help

I have checked about everything I can on this

The shortcut actually works fine and if I right click it and go to propertied it does point to the PG Music\band in a box.exe file --, I've also uninstalled the prog on my C drive and reinstalled it from the USB drive----so I think in this case I'll admit a dam computer has beaten me and get on with playing songs and creating backing tracks

Life is too short!!!!!!!--I'll just enjoy being in the USA for a while--Clearwater is still hot and pretty humid and a great place to be

Tx to all

Phil
