I had found a temporary fix before, but then it slipped my mind. Anyway, I rediscovered it today.

NOTE: This involves "force closing" the program and all files in the tree related to it. (This is here as a warning. I've done this to Magix at least three times and quite a few other programs, usually browsers, with no issues.)

This works on Windows Vista and should work on other Windows versions if they have Task Manager available.

1. Open Music Maker. Don't bother loading anything.

2. Open Task Manager (hold CTRL+ALT+DEL together, select Task Manager.).

3. In Task Manager, go to the tab marked Processes. Find the Image Name: MusicMaker.exe

4. Right click MusicMaker.exe and select "End Process Tree" (End Process doesn't work).

I'm not sure this is the best way to fix it, but it's the only thing I can find to work. Restarting, Reinstalling, Restoring Windows did little and took more time. Resetting to default and deleting musicmaker.ini as suggested in another thread did nothing. I'm not a programmer, but I have been told I'm a good troubleshooter. Anyway, the problem seems to be in one of the files that isn't the .exe (and there's quite a few) Again, at some point it will revert to the magnifying glass problem and you'll have to repeat this.

Hi

Try doing a program reset - File, Settings, Reset program to defaults to see if this fixes the problem.

No, it doesn´t work...

For me, it worked very well!

Thanks!!!

I found that if you hold Ctl-1 , you can select a note or notes, and move it/them. But as mentioned above, once you let go and move the mouse at all, it reverts to zoom mode.

@Jim-Mac You can get out of the stuck zoom mode by either restarting the program or, in case this doesn't help, by restarting the computer. Please select the Restart option and not the Shut down option.

I'll try the restart next. I've already uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but I've forgotten which application it was part of. Was it bundled with Vegas 20? OR sound forge pro?
