Thanks.

If you have it at "never notify" you are as far as you can go. However, as I come back to time and time again with these posts and the suggestions, the problem would be consistent one way or the other if it was a setting like the UAC. UAC, or drivers, or whatever, won't cause a problem some of the time and not others if that is the issue. Something else is likely wrong if he is getting an intermittent problem. And User Access Controls won't stop anything from executing, just ask your permission to continue.
Did you delete the offending song and create it again yet?
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

Yes, and I've done some other songs with no error message. That's what so frustrating.

Well, let me rephrase. You have isolated the problem much better, and PG Music Support should be able to pinpoint a solution now if none of us can.

Simple logic when applied from the computer perspective says it has to be the file. It could be the style itself. Just for giggles, try creating a song called song1 with a different style. Just 8 bars or so, and save it. Then song 2. Then song 3. Then when you do song4 use the same style that is causing the kink in your shorts and see if it fails again.
After years as a nerd I can say you are really not describing anything out of sorts on the computer itself.

Remember, with the fast generation, it takes about 20 seconds or so to fully generate the song. So if you are making changes quickly during those 20 seconds while the song is completely generating (even though it starts playing almost immediately), you could be causing problems there. You might just need to slow down a little in the changes you are making.
Don't know if this is the problem you are having, but it is a potential problem to be aware of.

I would write the chords and take it to RB . Right click on the left of a track below the others and at the top of the pull down change it from midi to wave. Highlight the section of piano you want in that style hold crtl and drag it to that new track . Then highlight the rest of the first piano track portion and right click >regenerate the new style change.
I hope that will help Steve ,last time I had errors I had to re-install but not really sure if you need to.

When using a USB sound device, the device *must be attached to USB port BEFORE starting BiaB* and let the System recognize the sound device first.
Then start BB.
You can't start BB first and then attach the sound device, BB won't recognize it and you will get that kind of Error Message.

Thanks Mac. The Mobile Pre is attached and recognized before I start BIAB.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
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.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
