RB locks up right after the Yellow Flash message about loading Accompaniment .. started a few days ago.
BiaB generates OK
Using RB 2025 Build 5 (also tried reverting to 4 which used to work, no luck)
Tried BiaB builds 1124 and 1125
The RB error and Flash Logs are not getting updated
RBError was last written on 3/2, same with RB Most Recent Error log.
/yes, the shortcut points to expected target folder/
Flash Message log shows yesterday's date (Though it Flashed a message today).
Any ideas?
*EDIT -
RB Wrote to Flash Log just now .. not much but this is what it shows for last few entries -

rharv,
Have you tried renaming the renaming the REALBAND.INI file and RB.CFG files and forcing RB to create new ones?

Yes
I believe it is now Realband64.INI BTW
Also tried Return to Factory settings, etc.
Like I said, I've even reverted to previous builds of both RB & BiaB.
My older RB 32 bit version still generates so I'm not totally dead, but frustrated.
When it locks up I can't cycle thru open windows, other apps seem OK otherwise, and Task Manager says RB is at 8% CPU, 28MB memory and power usage says Very High.

Even more frustrating; 2025 is not in my downloads area.
2024 back to 2014 is ..gotta dig out the external drive to try a total re-install.

Well, when cleaning up \Data\RBMenuHandler.dll cannon be deleted as it is 'in use'.
Will try a reboot to see if it frees up. RB is not open anywhere.
Posting in case it somehow helps support team.
