RB locks up right after the Yellow Flash message about loading Accompaniment .. started a few days ago.
BiaB generates OK
Using RB 2025 Build 5 (also tried reverting to 4 which used to work, no luck)
Tried BiaB builds 1124 and 1125

The RB error and Flash Logs are not getting updated
RBError was last written on 3/2, same with RB Most Recent Error log.
/yes, the shortcut points to expected target folder/

Flash Message log shows yesterday's date (Though it Flashed a message today).

Any ideas?

*EDIT -
RB Wrote to Flash Log just now .. not much but this is what it shows for last few entries -

rharv,

Have you tried renaming the renaming the REALBAND.INI file and RB.CFG files and forcing RB to create new ones?

Yes
I believe it is now Realband64.INI BTW
Also tried Return to Factory settings, etc.

Like I said, I've even reverted to previous builds of both RB & BiaB.
My older RB 32 bit version still generates so I'm not totally dead, but frustrated.

When it locks up I can't cycle thru open windows, other apps seem OK otherwise, and Task Manager says RB is at 8% CPU, 28MB memory and power usage says Very High.

Even more frustrating; 2025 is not in my downloads area.
2024 back to 2014 is ..gotta dig out the external drive to try a total re-install.

Well re-installing BB2025 from the beginning after renaming folders seems to have fixed it.

Now to try the latest updates (crosses fingers)
.. and then all the cleanup from this mess

EDIT - working now on latest greatest
That was fun frown

Well, when cleaning up \Data\RBMenuHandler.dll cannon be deleted as it is 'in use'.

Will try a reboot to see if it frees up. RB is not open anywhere.
Posting in case it somehow helps support team.
