generation 6, and start it again—everything should now
work.
If the second case applies, you will need to install more re-
cent drivers, or change the sound card altogether. Please
ask your sound card’s manufacturer.
In the third instance you simply need to close down the
other programs and start MAGIX midi studio generation
6 again.
Advanced users can use the settings accessible via the
“Control Panel” switches in Audio > Audio Hardware &
Drivers > Audio Drivers to manually control MAGIX midi
studio generation 6’s sound card use.
Viruses
Regrettably, there are some malicious people, who pro-
gram and distribute virus solely to cause damage. Check
your drives regularly for viruses, especially if you are in
regular contact with other people’s data carriers, or down-
load from the Internet. Not all virus programs are able to
detect the tricky macro viruses, and others which are as yet
unknown to virus protection software developers.
Graphic Cards
Graphic cards and graphic drivers can cause many prob-
lems. Always ensure that you have the latest drivers for
your graphic card installed.
If you are confronted with inexplicable problems, install
the Standard VGA graphics driver. This is sensible even if
the actual symptom appears unrelated to graphics use. If
the graphic card or its driver is responsible for the prob-
lem, the use of the Standard VGA driver should cure it.
Re-installing the Operating System
Sometimes parts of your computer’s Operating System
get corrupted. There are dozens of reasons for this. Then
re-installing the operating system (Windows 95/98/
2000) from your installation CD-ROM is a good idea.
To prevent such time-consuming actions, you should
make sure that you only install software that you really
need and use. Do not mess too much with installing each
and every piece of software that comes across your way.
And stay away from cracked software, not only for legal
reasons, but also for cracks are likely to play havoc with
your computer’s operating system in order to avoid the
cracked software’s copy protection. Please remember: Re-
