What's with not getting Magix programs to run ? I'm always having to repair a instal or having to dig out a CD ?error -6

Last week, I had to fix samplutude MS 2013 and 2014 and MM2013 premium. go to my laptop and MS11 &12 and MMM MX are all dead, too. just now I go to samp 2014, and it's the error -6, again ? Do, I have to buy new machines with four or five dvd players just to hold Magix intal media, or, what ?

Hi

Something is corrupting your installations - are you using a Registry cleaner such a CCleaner?

What antivirus program do you have installed?

Thanks !

 

I'm now on Fit-It, but I'm not in the habit of letting them do what they want. Fix-it, because I thought they all pretty much stunk : ) It's running on this machine as I try to config it for my music room - replacement machine. I also wondered about Magix selection of file locations. I personally, don't want anything on Microsofts C:rash drive. I want the machine isolated, so I don't go for the internet checks I see pop-up, either.

 

So, fix-it for utilities and AV. Is this the same issue with MIDI Studio ? Last time it asked for the CD, but usually it just hangs on initializing screen.

Hi

I presume you mean Avanquests Fix-It Utilities.

Registry cleanup tools can break software with alarming regularity.

From experience CCleaner definitely breaks Magix programs.

I would recommend you stop using the utilities except for the Antivirus and Malware protection utilities, reinstall the Magix software and see what happens.

Hello all and thanks for the help. I'm now on norton and I think the programs are starting up fine. I was getting updates, but now my basic three progs - SMS2014, SMS2013, & MMM_prem - can't get past register now. I have the fwall set to allow all three prog executable
