Hi Soulagent,

Are you clicking Generate and Play after entering chords, or just Play?

When you describe "shutting down every five minutes and going to "run as Administrator", are you saying that Band-in-a-Box is crashing every 5 minutes, or are you closing it that frequently for some other reason?

By the way, you can set BIAB to automatically run as administrator. Open your Band-in-a-Box folder (usually C:\BB), right-click on bbw.exe and select Properties, then click on the Compatibility tab and check the "Run this program as an administrator" box. Once that's done, you can launch it with a simple double-click.

Thanks
Kent
