Short answer: problem fixed.

Long answer:
The only way I was able to fix it was to install BIAB onto my laptop hard drive, as opposed to running it off the USB drive. Not what I wanted to do, but who said life is fair?

Oh, and those songs I had saved and then re-opened and only found the 'C' chord in the first bar? Magically now all the song information I had saved (chords, tempo, song style, etc) are present in the SGU file upon opening.

You would think the option to 'run off USB drive' would make BIAB be independent of the PC/laptop it is running off, but apparently that is not the case. If you choose 'run off USB drive', even during installation it will try to install various items to your C: drive. And if you talk with the 'chat' people they will say 'yes, if you run BIAB on a different machine you will have to re-install.'

The Style I saved over was _SELECT3. However, I CAN now load the _SELECT3 song sample chords, and even using the chords I saved it seems to be working fine.

Thanks for all help!
