The only time I ever got a blue screen on Win7 was from the new WAS Driver (lol and I was the one that suggested having a WAS driver). But it may be what you have BB set to like the Audio Driver or the default Synth etc. There's some ini files you can delete that have the setting in so it will default back to factory but at the moment I can't remember exactly but look at the latest date files in C:\bb\Preferences
Looking at the Blue Screen, L6PODHD564.sys listed on that screen is your Line 6 POD Interface. That interface is crashing. So it's a Line 6 issue, not a BIAB issue. I did a Google search on L6PODHD564.sys and there are lots of posts on driver issues. You should check to see what the latest driver is and get it updated.
Also look at what Pipeline said. Check to see how your audio driver is used in the BIAB Audio settings. You have a choice to set it as ASIO, WAS, or MME. Try switching those settings to see if that works.
Thank you. I was thinking about just getting a new input device. I tried the changing the driver settings. When I change to ASIO driver, the choice is something along the lines of ASIO Line 6. Still crashes.

If this were my problem, here is where I'd start...
Firstly, I'd try and isolate if the Line 6 was the problem.
(It's always a good problem solving approach to begin by getting the program working without adding periphery. Once the program is going fine, then attachments, etc., can be added one at a time and the one causing the problem will usually be easy to isolate.)
1. close BIAB
2. Unplug the line 6
3. Right-click on the BIAB startup icon and select "Run as administrator" to start BIAB. (Run as admin. is probably not needed but it's good to include here 'just in case'.)
I don't know about Line 6 POD HD500 but from what I find on the internet, it looks like it's a collection of effects that are activated via pedal controls.
This means, BIAB should run without it being attached as BIAB Realstyles are audio and only require speakers for them to be heard.
4. Under "Audio" (top menu), select "Audio Drivers/Settings".
5. Set the audio driver to MME - on most systems this a really good and stable driver for testing to purposes.
6. Add some chords to BIAB's chordsheet, generate and let the song play though.
Does BIAB function properly with the Line 6 disconnected and using MME?
Thanks all for your help! It looks like the Line 6 interface/driver was the issue. I tried all the suggestions (with the exception of asio4all, because I want to use the interface as the control), and I just went out and purchased an inexpensive, but good interface, the Presonus Audiobox. Problem solved with RB and BIAB. So excited about this that I bought the 2020 update. Thanks again.

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
