I never had this problem before but when I hit space bar to play video and audio I keep getting this message (Click on File to see message). Do anyone know why"? I'm really getting sick of magix. second issue this week week the program.
Hi Alvin.
This is a question best answered when people have a complete rundown of your system spec in your signature as asked for in the forum rules.
My guess would be not enough physical ram on the system but I don't know. The program guidelines show minimum specs for running the program but quite often that requirement is exceeded by the project needs. I have 32 GB of ram on my system and I often get close to the limit of that being used on even quite small projects. The length of a project doesn't really matter as the use of the ram seems dynamic but rather how busy the project gets in certain places. Things that can take up a lot of ram is something simple like have a web browser open running more than one tab at the same time as the program is running.

Hi
See here for details of your what is required for the computer specification to put in your signature.
Can you also post a screen shot of the Program settings, Playback tab - these are the settings that work for me.
Do you have any other programs running that take direct control of the audio card eg Music Maker?

Have you tried setting your Program Settings to Default in the "File" Menu?
I see you have Direct Sound selected which is not the default and I believe Direct uses more RAM.

Hi Peter
. . . . Direct Sound selected which is not the default and I believe Direct uses more RAM . . . .
DS was the default setting for MEP in previous versions and I have always used it since - it is faster and uses less CPU.

Direct sound was never the default on my installations and I remember there was one version in which it was the default and it caused so many issues with users that @ralftaro at Magix chipped in and a patch was subsequently issued that switched it back to Wave Driver.
DS used to make preview very choppy but having said that I tried switching in VPX12 and it made no difference to anything including loading in Task manager be it CPU, Ram, GPU load, etc.

Hi Peter.
Does MEP or VPX use previous settings when updated / upgraded?
If so is it not possible that John saw that as a default setting from the moment he started using the software?

Sorry for just getting back. The same night I restarted program and it started working. I have no idea what I did other than restarting program.
