Hello,

re-installed multiple times today, but it didnt fix the problem.

i make mashup songs mostly, and when i put 2 .mp3 files in magix 15, get the timing right, yada yada

the program will freeze within the first 10 or so seconds of them playing together.

if any tech wizzard out there knows whats going on would be much appreciated, i havent got a clue what happened...or where i am.

send dudes.

The sudden failure of old programs like this, which are not officially compatible with the operating system, is often some update which tips the incompatibility over the edge.

@petrol

I would heartily endorse what @Graham-Hawker writes.

The current latest version of MM is version 30 so your version 15 is clearly 15 full releases behind! In my opinion it would be surprising if such an old version ran anything like "successfully" under any version of Win 10 which is reasonably up to date. Sorry!

@petrol You can also try a right click on the program icon and then select properties. In the property window set the compatibility mode to Windows 7.
