So...for what ever reason BIAB will not load up, all I get is the large logo as if starting up.
Win 10,BIAB 2018, I also just did the 516 upgrade hoping that it might kick start it to open, no luck with that...
I also get the little icon down in the bottom of my task bar, which it will not even let me close the program, it's like the program locks up! I have to restart my pc to clear it out.
RealBand seems to work just fine...
Anyone have a clue as what to try for a fix?
To the best of my knowledge my pc is running fine..other than this issue.
Thanks, Gene

Gene, A couple of thoughts spring to mind. Before jumping into the complex options, though, try this and see if it helps... 1. Make sure BIAB is closed. 2. Unplug any music-related USB hardware (e.g. MIDI keyboard, etc.) 3. Right-click on the start-up shortcut and select "Run as administrator". (This is starting BIAB in Administrator mode. It is different from logging-in into Windows as 'admin' when a computer is first started. "Run as administrator" is the mode that's recommended for BIAB and RB.) Does that bring any joy? Also, after installing build 516, it's necessary to rebuild style picker. To do this, simply enter into style picker, wait a few seconds and the process will begin automatically. It should take around 30 seconds or so to rebuild. Regards, Noel

If that doesn’t work, write back. There are two files you can delete that might fix this.
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

No luck running as administrator, I did try that before along with a hard restart. This time I completely removed the data cable from my Focusrite 6i6, before just tried it with power off along with another hard restart. The 6i6 is all I have on this pc other than my printer. So regardless what I do it just locks up on the start up logo. I tried running it from my file explore also. Needless to say, Im not the best with pc's. Thank you Noel, how you been Matt? I havent bothered you in a while lol. thanks again guys! i'm standing by... Strange, went to reply to my post, i got a mesg it had been deleted? Started a new post now its gone & this one is back? Could there be a Ghost In The Machine

Hi Geneoh,
Deleting the files "intrface.bbw" and "mysetup.dk" from the BB\Preferences folder will likely fix it.
Just make sure Band-in-a-Box is completely closed first. If it's still stuck in the Task Bar, you can hit Ctrl+Shift+Escape to open the Task Manager, and use that to force Band-in-a-Box to quit.
Thanks
Kent

That’s the two files. Let us know if this works.
