Can't see my CPU meter. Any idea how to view it. I have the latest version.
Marty, if the screen resolution width is too low, the CPU window is probably off the RHS of the screen Here are two examples, showing what you see with different screen resolutions. Could this be related to your issue?

You can also hit ctrl-alt-del and bring up the Windows CPU monitor, which should place a tiny icon on your taskbar next to the clock. Very handy. Always there. Gives a VU meter-like view at all times, hover the mouse over it to read the actual percentage if desired.
I've always ahd a hunch that the RealBand indicator was likely just using that Windows monitor in the background anyway, but displaying the report inside the RealBand program. My reasoning is that the two have always reported identical percentages and such here.

Thanks Video Track for showing me this little hint.
Being very new to BIAB and RB (I just got off the newbie status); I didn't realize that I wasn't seeing the whole screen when in RealBand. I am using 1280x980 and although I have two separate monitors I was only using one monitor to show the RealBand GUI.
Now when I stretch the GUI across the two monitors I can see the complete picture and the other icons, etc. that I was missing. (I know, I know a real newbie mistake, but I am learning)

--Mac
I agree with Mac that the CPU load is probably coming from a Windows value. Mine are not identical, but definitely similar.
Tip: You can also bring up the Windows Task manager by right-clicking on the task bar.
However, the bottom line is that the User Interface needs attention, as I don't believe that some of those items can be displayed if your screen resolution is less than a certain value. Floating Dockable controls would be one solution, Microsoft Ribbon Controls would be another.

Thanks guys. That's a big help. I wish there was a way to move icons in the GUI and remove/replace until I have what I use. Wouldn't older versions allow that?
I had trouble earlier, but since I got your help I noticed that the CPU usage is 100% when RB boots up and I load a song. If I wait until it drops (about 2 minutes) everything works fine. I now found the problem. It's my patience!

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.

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."
