Try going to your \Realband\ folder and look for Raelband64.exe fie.
Right click it and go to Compatibility tab.
Do you see a checkbox for Run as administrator?
Is it enabled?
Try unchecking it.
If it won't let you then you are not logged in as an administrator and may be the source of that problem.
Thanks rharv.
When I right-click on realband64.exe, Windows Explorer hangs (the hourglass goes round and round). I can use other apps on the computer but I can't close or use Explorer. I have to restart the computer.
The same thing happens if I try to right-click on Biab and RealBand shortcuts on the desktop.
Perplexing.
The same thing was happening before I installed BIAB2025.

A bit of history: My old Acer Predator computer (with two drives) recently failed but a tech was able to copy/clone my data to a new computer which has a 1TB C drive.
From the old Acer he removed the D drive, which I now use as an external D drive on my new computer.
On the Acer I had BIAB 2022 and RealTracks and RealDrums installed on this D drive. Realband was on my C drive.
When I told the tech about not being able to right click on RealBand and BIAB icons/files he suggested reinstalling the programs - which is effectively what I have done by downloading and installing BIAB2025, RealBand2025 and RealTracks and RealDrums on my C drive.
Thanks again. Hopefully we get to the bottom of this issue soon.
