I have Magix Music Studio Deluxe 2005 and a MacBook Pro running VM Fusionware with Windows Vista. I put the Magix in, but it will not play the music.....it starts, and immediately stops.....this is my 2nd Mac and I fiddled with the first one and deleted some stuff and got the Magix in there, but I'm not sure even what I did originally, or if it was bad for my computer....want to get it right so I don't wreck stuff!

You should go to the magix website and download the necessary file.

Magix Music Maker 12 only works on the follwoing Windows 2000 / Vista / XP. You need to purchase Magix Music Maker 16 or 17 to get support for Windows 7.

you would have to download a version that is compatible with windows 7. using a patch for studio software makes it glitch and crash.

If a program cannot be run under Windows 7 because of compatibility issues, which is the case with Magix Music Studio 12 Deluxe, you have to right click on the executable file that will install the application and click Properties. Select Compatibility tab and check the Windows version you know the program worked with before (probably Windows XP).

You will have to do the same thing for the application start program after installation.

You can find more about this Compatibility issue on Microsoft website: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

This due to the some errors in the magix music maker.this can be corrected by re-installing the program or make it re-pair.

try right clicking on the shortcut for your program and clicking properties, then click on compatability and choose run in compatability for windows xp sp2

if that doesnt work then you might need to look at magix for any updates


Vote if this is useful

I think the problem is..... Magix is compatible with XP 64 bit but not with Vista or 7 64 bit, not much 3rd party software is.

Try updating MS

just click the magix music studio where suituated the install software wil be visible dobuble click the software and step by step the next button wil come and agree terms and conditons to the software will install easier

go to your playback option and make sure (live input) is checked, then try it
