SwingBabyMix, Here is the easiest way to go back to an earlier version of Band-in-a-Box.

1) Rename the root Band-in-a-Box folder. For example, rename C:\bb to C;\bb2024.

2) Optional depending on the program installer you use. Rename the RealBand folder. For example, rename C:\RealBand to C:\RealBand 2024

3) Run the installer file for whichever version of BiaB you want to use. Do a minimal install that only installs Band-in-a-Box and possibly RealBand. The installer file will create new C:\bb and (possibly) new C:\RealBand folders.

4) Move ALL the sub folders from the old C:\bb2024 to the new C:\bb

You'll likely have to activate the serial number of whichever version of BiaB you installed.

Once you are finished creating your loops you can return to the latest version by renaming the folders.

You can keep multiple versions of Band-in-a-Box by having multiple versions of the C:\bb folder. Whichever folder is named C:\bb will be the one you use.
