Since what you have worked until recently, I would download the latest update for 2018 RealBand from +++ HERE +++ and apply it. As you said a file may have become corrupt and that action may fix it.

While there's nothing wrong with trying something new like Reaper, ProTools or my favorite +++ Cakewalk by BandLab +++, which is free to use on 64 bit Windows computers, it's another musical orientated program you have to learn and get use to. Get what you're accustomed to using working and then explore alternatives if you want to. You can always decide to try a DAW later on.

The DAWs mentioned are not necessarily better or worse than what you have, but they do operate differently than RealBand. There will be an adjustment period if you switch.
