Error 59 in Magix Music Maker 2017

Hello,
I repeatedly experienced the "error 59" when loading Magix Music Maker 2017 (running under Windows 7). After several attemps to solve the problem (applying update patch recently released by Magix, re-installing the whole software after download of the latest Music maker installer from Magix website, deleting all Music Maker related folders and re-installing the software, running Music Maker as administrator,...), I still could not solve the problem and the error appeared again and again. Magix supplied good support and made several suggestions but it did not solved the problem, the software crashed everytime I restarted the PC.

I recently could partially solve the problem by applying the following steps :

1) Uninstall Music maker using the following utility : http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
2) Delete manually all Music Maker related folders remaining after unstallation,e.g.
C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\[Name of software]
C:\Users\[your username under windows AND public]\AppData\Roaming\MAGIX\[Name of software] (hidden files in Windows)
3) Re-install software using Music Maker installer downloaded from Magix website (http://dl03.magix.net/trial_musicmaker2017_dlm.exe). Do not open the software at this point.
4) Apply manually the update downloaded from Magix website: https://support2.magix.com/customer/de/patch_download/258597/manual
5) Open Music maker, introduce your license key.
6) Important : do NOT download and apply the additional Magix add-ins and components (virtual instruments like Vita, visuals, demo songs, videos,...)
7) Add manually the additional soundpools you own by placing these in the magix Music Make sound pools folder

Magix Music Maker then worked perfectly without having the "error 59" appearing again, even after switching off the computer.
This is a temporary solution since I coud not identify so far which one of the Magix add-ins is creating the problem.

Does somebody have more information regarding the exact Magix Music maker add-in or virtual instrument generating the "error 59" problem ?

Thanks for your feedback.

. . . . This is a temporary solution since I coud not identify so far which one of the Magix add-ins is creating the problem. . . . .

There have been many posts on this topic and the culprit has been the Windows 10 upgrade from 7 or 8, and/or Windows 10 updates that have caused issues.

Sometime a Repair can fix the problem and a Windows Restart - not shutdown and power up fixes the problem.

However a Windows 10 system issue can still cause problems for which there is a tutorial here for dealing with this.

I myself had many issues with Movie Edit Pro and Music Maker installations and Windows 10 upgrade and updates which prompted me to create the above tutorial.

It is very important that the Windows 10 installation is checked to ensure there are no issues with it before re-installing.

The tutorial also applies to Windows 7 and 8 however the system check process is slightly different.

Thank you John.

However, it is not the migration to windows 10 which caused the problem (I was running windows 7 before and after the problem appeared). I am still running my PC under the same Win 7 OS.

After applying the procedure described in my previous post, Magix Music Maker did not experience any crash (-59 error) so far, even after numerous restarts of the PC.

Kind regards

Hi!

My hypothesis: I think it is the first update that causes the problem. I am going to uninstall MMMPremium 2017 again, install it and skip the update. See if it works...

Best

In which case follow the un-install instructions in the tutorial I linked to - ignore the Windows 10 checks - otherwise you will still have the same issue..

What do you mean by "Add manually the additional soundpools you own by placing these in the magix Music Make sound pools folder"?

thx

Hello, you copy your soundpools files (e.g. from a CD a DVD or copied/saved somewhere else from a previous installation) and place these files in the folder defined under Music Maker settings\Folders\soundpools (usually C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Soundpools). I hope it helps
