Windows XP, RealBand Version 2010 (2) purchased as part of BiaB 2010 Everything Pak on USB drive.

When I start RealBand and open a BiaB file the hourglass icon is there briefly and then goes away. There's nothing in the chords window. Eventually a yellow window appears saying "the time for Beta has expired." No buttons work ... not even the X in the top right of the window to close the program.

Windows Task Manager says RealBand is "running". When I "End Task" with Task Manager, a RealBand dialog window opens advising me that the program is doing something "really important" and it might crash if I proceed with "End Task". Sure enough, when I proceed there's an address violation error.

What's up with all that?
