Well I believe it's fixed. When I said I was done I was publicly admitting defeat so I could go on to the next step that all good computer techs take when they can't fix something. Reinstall Windows. I almost went back to Win2K as that disc is from MS and is a retail OS. The one from Toshiba is a recovery disc and it installs all of the typical crap. AOL etc. In removing this stuff before I probably messed something up. I was very careful this time. Just used add/remove programs, ran CCleaner once & ran Registry Mechanic once. I have XP SP3 and don't use this thing on the Internet so I'm not even going to do the updates. Everything is running. No shut down process, no disabled hardware. two computers networked. Running Three sound cards. So far RB runs very smoothly. I'm afraid I'm one of the people that live by this motto: "If it ain't broke fix it until it is"

John, there is a nifty little program called PC-Decrapifier. What you can do is perform a reinstall from the recovery image, then run PC-Decrapifier to remove all the, well, crap that gets installed. They keep a database of what each of the vendors crap up their systems with and then provide a one-stop shop for removing them. Of course, you get to select what to remove and what to keep. Everytime I restore my Vista system from the recovery disks, using PC-Decrapifier is the first thing I do.
You can run it later; however, they recommend running it right after restoring the system.
Just a thought.

Just one more comment about this. The actual problem was fixed by the reinstall of the OS BUT it was a twofold problem. As I mentioned before I had 150 BIAB tunes. I mass produced these songs into RB tunes. I did this all before the last BETA. I'm now going back over these songs and I've come across two songs that are not stable. They take longer to load. All I've done on these is erase the tracks that are causing it. So far on both it's been the strumming Acoustic. Then regenerate, consolidate and resave.

Bull If a PIV 3.0 with 2 G ram and Nvidia card can't run 8 tracks of audio something amiss with the program.

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."
