If the normal behaviour of Band In A Box changes, and the program starts doing or not doing things that it used to, one of the first places to begin troubleshooting is returning BIAB to factory settings.

There are three levels of Return To Factory Settings (RTFS).

My approach is...

1) Save my present settings (\Options\Save Preferences As...) so that I can get back to my original settings if I need to.

2) Use "Options\Return To Factory Settings" using the MOST choice first time around. This choice keeps the setup of the audio and MIDI drivers in place.

3) If the MOST choice doesn't solve the problem, then I repeat the RTFS and choose the ALL option. This will affect the audio and MIDI drivers, and they will need be setup again afterwards.

4) If neither MOST nor ALL solves the problem, I exit BIAB, and I rename intrface.bbw and MySetup.DK to intrface.bbw.old and MySetup.DK.old. These files are in \bb\Preferences. This renaming keeps the original files (in case I need to restore them**) as well as stops BIAB from seeing them, and it forces BIAB to recreate new versions of the files when next the program is started. It is the ultimate version of RTFS. Audio and MIDI drivers need to be set up again after this.

5) After renaming the files, I then restart BIAB.

If the problem still exists after all these steps, I sometimes reload the preferences.

**NOTE
If I need to restore intrface.bbw and MySetup.DK... (a) I exit BIAB, (b) go to \bb\Preferences, (c) delete the current intrface.bbw and MySetup.DK, and then (d) rename intrface.bbw.old and MySetup.DK.old to their original names (i.e. intrface.bbw and MySetup.DK).

This is a great summary, complete and concise. Thank you very much, Noel. Now we can refer to this post when giving advice to users with problems.

I do not have to do a Return to Factory Settings often, but when I do, it almost always fixes a problem where something does not work like it used to.
