About MMM16 Premium

I have MMM16 Premium. I recently installed the The Best of Soundpools, which had a Bonus MMMsilver program which i installed and discovered it was MMM15 Version. I noticed after installling it, in my MMM16 Premuim Program that all my .mmm project file icon changed, and now under properties it says

File Type: Music Maker 15 (.mmm) arrangement.

 

I have uninstalled MMM15, but the icon hasn't changed back and still reads as MMM15 arrangement.

 

My questions?

I am trying to install a patch for MMM16 Premuim, but the download can not find the program and wants me to reinstall it from the CD (which I have). I am concerned that if i uninstall and reinstall MMM16 Premium that it may not recognised my music projects, that seem to be converted back to MMM15 Version(.mmm)?

Any Suggestions?  thanks!

 

Ps I have made backup copies of  "My Projects" folder on my desktop/external drive.

Hi,

 

First of all you should immediately contact Magix support and explain them problem as you did here.

 

I agreed with you same thing had happened with me in past and when Icon changed it was much pain and stressfull. I was shocked about my projects I thought they are all gone but not in reality which I found later.

 

I uninstalled all Magix program also left over files in my case(windows vista)

After un installation I manually deleted files from the bold folders below you can see paths too.

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX_MusicMaker16Premium\My Record

C:\Program Files\MAGIX\MusicMaker16Premium

C:\Program Files\MAGIX\MusicMaker16Premium\musiceditor\musiceditor.exe

 

And finally deleted registry key, this is case sensetive therefore, you should not do anything with registry please.

 

After doing all above I cleared browser/cookies/history cleared recycle bin.

Restarted computer and re-install the latest Magix Music Maker version. Then all my projects were back to normal.

 

As you have already did a nice job to back up your projects thats great. Just a note: when you reinstall program all of your backup projects should be in the same place from where you have copied. Example

C:\Documents\Magix_Music_Maker_xyz.

You should re install software if you want. I have given you tips above.

 

Note: further to icon problem: I had the same problem, and when I had followed the above steps, my MMM 16 Premium Icon returned back to normal. The I con of the project had changed only not the contents.

 

If there is any possibility if you can un install that Bonus MMMsilver program I think that will be helpful instead un installing MMM 16 Premium.

 

Thank you

With the back-up you made, you should be fine. If you install from the disc, does it offer you a repair capability?
