So I went into the BIAB folder and opened it there. RealTracks linked properly to the external drive & I composed a song. But I can't save it to the computer as a .WAV or .mp3 . And I can't save it on the external drive either (BTW what's a SGU file & should I be saving that as well as .mp4?)

It also appears I've lost the ability to load up all the BIAB songs into the program I had on the old hard drive so I can't edit them anymore; I will have to rebuild them from scratch!

Very frustrated, very confused, not very tech-savvy. Would appreciate some help to at least be able to save new creations to my PC going forward, even if I've lost my library. Thanks.


When you try to render your songs from the program as .WAV or .MP3, do you get any error messages at all that pop up? I see above you mentioned the "dividing by 0" error, but any in particular when trying to render to an audio file format?

Also, when you say your old BIAB files aren't loading, are you going to File | Open to open them, or double clicking on them outside of the program to try and open them? If that latter, it could be a file association with the new program that needs to be set up.

Cheers,
