Select the upper option because that will keep all your sound setup intact. Also, have you tried fully turning the computer off and booting up again? This often solves a number of problems since it fully clears all memories and buffers. Regards, Noel Last edited by Noel96; 12/05/15 01:36 PM. MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

Found the following from a 2005 forum post Let's try to Return to Factory Settings from outside the program. *With BiaB completely closed down, navigate to your bb folder and locate the file named, "intrface.bbw" and move it out of the folder. Okay to drop it onto the desktop or into any conventient folder you want other than the folder where BiaB lives. Now start up Band in a Box, it will rebuild that file and perhaps correct whatever got corrupted to give you the black screen. @ http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=268506&site_id=1 That did the trick. Don't know how I got there - BIAB 2015 had been working fine in same configuration.

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.
