If it was OK but now is not, maybe try: Options->Return To Factory Settings->...MOST... or possibly: Options->Return To Factory Settings->...ALL...

You can check the directory Gordon mentioned or you can re-download it. For Plogue, that gets installed when a specific checkbox is selected in the main Band-in-a-Box and RealBand program installer.
