Hello Gordon,

The thread you replied to is years old. If you are serious about finding a solution, you should post a new topic, and include more information like the version of Band-in-a-Box. A message about not being able to write to the registry is most likely just Band-in-a-Box informing you that it can't set the file associations because of UAC restrictions. Your songs may already be associated with BB by the installer so you likely don't need to do anything. If you want to be sure, run Band-in-a-Box by right-clicking on the bbw.exe and selecting Run As admin, then in the program go to File | File Utilities | Associate File Types. RealBand is included with Band-in-a-Box so there should not be a separate disc for it.
