I want to demo some more Realtracks but the song demos won't play on my computer (Windows). I keep getting an error message that says I need Flashplayer 9.0 or greater.
I think I have Flashplayer 14 installed.
I used the "Search" feature to the right and could not find information on this.
Could someone please tell me if this is a common problem and if there is a fix.
By the way, I am loving this BIAB. I am getting deeper into playing music and it has been Godsend!

Welcome to the forums! I agree... BIAB is brilliant software  What browser are you using? That could be the problem. I have Firefox 55.0.3 and the few demos I tried worked fine for me. Just to make sure that we're working on the same page, I clicked on the "Listen" options for the Realtracks (highlighted on the image below).  Also, with Flash, I've found a few times over the last year or so that it must always be up-to-date to access some websites. I suspect that this is because earlier versions of Flash player had some vulnerabilities that made it susceptible to net nasties. Flash player is currently up to version 27. https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/Regards, Noel

Thanks for the quick responses. I am really looking to buy more reaktracks and not being able to play demos is a bit of a pain.
To make sure I am clear, I was looking at RealTrack Sets, such as #10. You have an option for "Band Demo" and another for "Solo Demo."
Got to run but I will return and reread your replies.
Thanks again

Thank you for your assistance.
Sorry it took so long for me to get it. I had an unfortunate series of events that led to surgery.
Anyway, I appreciate everyone's input and hope to be able to capitalize on the great opportunities this program offers.
I am teaching my kids to play piano and some guitar, and the band-in-a-box program motivates them greatly.
Again, thanks and happy holidays. I plan to check in here more often as I try to increase my limited skills with BIAB!
What a Godsend BIAB is!!

I have since upgraded my computer to Windows 10 and everything seems to be working fine. I think that is what fixed my problem, at least in part.
