"Cannot open new project" Error message

Not sure what's going on here but ever since I moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 my Magix Music Maker MX program has not be allowing me to record anything.  All my drivers are up to date.  I hear sounds when I plug in my interface and play through it so that's not the issue.  I'm even able to open old projects and work with them with no problems.  But for some reason, every single time I try record something new I get this window that says "Cannot open new project" and then a blank music object starts scrolling across the screen until I highlight it and delete it (look at Track One to see what I mean).  The programs offers no explanation for why this is happening and I can't find any information on this online.  Any thoughts?

Hi,

The image isn't very clear. It looks like you are trying to save the wave recording to Program Data or something. Try changing this to a folder in My Documents. It may be that it can't open/save a file to the location indicated.

When you migrated from XP, did you reinstall MMM?

Ha, moving my save folder actually worked!  Never had problems with it before so that never occured to me. 

Thanks so much!!!
