Hi there,

This would indicate the program is no longer able to interface properly with some Microsoft/Windows multimedia components that it requires for the various export options. We had a few reports like this for older Music Maker versions in the past few days/weeks. It really does seem like a Windows update must have changed some internals and triggered the more frequent occurrence of this problem.

Please note that you have a free upgrade path to the most current generation of Music Maker, as per the information in the second part of my post here:

https://www.magix.info/uk/forum/music-maker-update-28-0-2-45--1232664/

I very much recommend that you choose this option to resolve the issue, especially with with an older version like 2014, which isn't even officially designed and tested for Windows 10. However, just in general, I recommend using this upgrade path to gain access to the most recent product generation with all the latest bug fixes and improvements.

Hope this helps!
