After update to Win 8.1 the program issues error message -6 and shuts down. Same thing if started as administrator. Same thing if starting in Compatability Mode. A repair run issues error code 1603. It was ok under Win 8.0.
Can anyone help? Screen shots attached below.
Hi
Windows 8.1 upgrade breaks some software - and this is not restricted just to Magix software.
MEP 17 is not Windows 8.1 compatible. If you can get it to run, which looking at that error message is looking unlikely, you will almost certainly have issues with DVD drive not being recognised.
Time to upgrade to a Windows 8 compatible version.
HTH

Had some problems myself with windows 8.1. Managed to solve magix freezing by running in windows 8 compatibility.
Right click you magix icon, select properties, compatibility tab
Click compatibility mode and select windows 8
May help
Cheers
