Before I start this update, thanks to all who have tried to help. Thanks to Kent for sending me the jbridge info.
So I gave it a try. I downloaded and unzipped the jbridge. Installed it where the old one supposedly is: C:\jbridge.
It also mentions I might have to use the jbridger tool. If so, just go to Start-Programs-jbridge-jbridger. I looked to see if I can find that. I have nothing that says start and there is no jbridger tool evident in what I have.
So I moved on. My directory says I have Amplitube 3. It is installed at C:\Program Files x86\VST Plugins. I tried to add that as a VST. There were two error messages but the second one is the best. It says Amplitube is not a valid VST plugin.
So then I downloaded a free 32 bit bass VST from Ample. I installed it with my other plugins (how I got those I don't know). They are at C:\Program Files x86\Steinberg\VST Plugins. I checked the directory and it is there.
Went to RB and pulled up a project from BB. I had sound on the bass track and it says the sound is from Sample Tank. But it gave me a warning message about needing administrative rights to use it. I tried to add the Ample VST and RB wouldn't. So I gave up and tried to listen to the track with Sample Tank. Now I can't hear a thing.
Seems hopeless to me. Goodnight to all and thanks again for trying to help me.

When you say you downloaded jbridge, where did you download it from? If it's anything other than from your email account (by requesting a new copy) it's not going to work.

Hi John, I sent him a copy of the original email that JBridge sent him when he ordered. It's the correct installer. JBridge really should be installed to C:\Program Files\JBridge though, not C:\JBridge. 2bSolo, Why don't you give me a call tomorrow? The number is 1-866-983-2474, I'll be available 11-5 Pacific Standard Time. If you could also install Teamviewer from www.teamviewer.com first, that would be great. I should be able to get everything working in a few minutes. Thanks Kent PG Music

Why are you trying to use jbridge with a 32 bit program and a 32 bit VST?

When you see a message about needing Administrative rights to use something you can often solve that by right-clicking and using Run as Administrator.
In this case you would right-click RB and Run as Administrator.
By right-clicking RB, and then selecting Properties, on one of the tabs you can set RB to always run as administrator.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
