I guess I'm a little behind times. When did Brent Mason Guitar Star go from Version 1 to version 2 and what were the changes?

Looks like the version changed around 2006 to 2008 time frame. Peter, what's different about Version 2.0... and the one I bought 1.0...? Do I need to buy latest version or will the upgrades you listed here on your web site work? The reason I'm concerned is that I bought a used Dell Laptop with Vista, and the program doesn't seem to be working properly. When I turn on the train style and push a key to get a riff playing, it sounds broken up and distorted and the tempo seems to be slowing up. I loaded and re-loaded both discs but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

David - if you have an older version of GuitarStar: Brent Mason Country you can install the 2.0 patch. The patch is available here: http://www.pgmusic.com/support.updates.win.other.htm#gsbmc
Some of the updates include Vista fixes, and installing this patch may resolve your issues.

Summary of Changes for Version 2.0.7.54a (March 4, 2008)
Fixed: Error message when playing videos on some Vista computers.
Fixed: On some riffs, note display was not in sync with the audio.
Added: Hotkey for 1/2 playback (shift+F3)
Improved: 1/2 speed playback can now be toggled on/off during playback.
Added: Setting for bent notes to be shown in a different color.
Added: Setting to show upcoming notes as expanding spots (to let you know what the next note is).
Added: 'Show note outlines' setting can help on some computers that have trouble displaying notes on the fretboard.
Added: Setting for color-coded fingering (e.g. notes played by the first finger are blue etc.).
Added: Hotkeys, fly-by hints, and close button added to the Video window.
Fixed: Pressing Alt+F10 produced a debug screen.
Improved: Minor fly-by hint and help file updates.
Summary of Changes for Version 2.0.3.46a (May 17, 2007)
Updated: Windows Vista compatibility.
Improved: Fly-by hints weren't displayed during playback.

That patch say if you have a version lower than 2.0 that it won't work. Is that true? My version is 1.01...

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.
