"ERROR! There is a problem..."

Post by sjoens »

"with your software installation."

I get this flag after so many uses it's almost like a routine feature. It affects both 32 & 64 bit versions simultaneously making me think it might be a registry issue.

The only cure is to reinstall Mixcraft.

I see it's been a long standing issue. Anyone know why Mixcraft does this?

Hi,

Have you been customizing your Mixcraft files?

Not since the last reinstall. It just started happening and happens even with new empty project as soon as I hit PLAY.

I had to install both 32 & 64 bit versions to fix them.

Hmm, things rarely stop working for no reason... You probably messed up some files by accident or something.

Anyway, it’s good you fixed it.

BTW: You should update to build 418.

"I see its been a long standing issue"?

Pls explain.
None i am aware of and speaking for myself, not a single incidence that seems even similar in some 7.5 years or so of using Mixcraft.
Stay in tune, Mark

Why hit PLAY in an empty project ?

Hi,

This error indicates there's something funny about your program files. For example, if the mixcraft8.exe file got infected with a virus, you'd get this error. Or maybe if you had some program files from one build mixed with program files from another.

Re-installing is the way to fix it, but then the question would be why would the problem crop up again?

1. Does it happen again if you don't modify any Mixcraft files?
2. If it does, you should maybe do a deep virus scan.

It could very well be my fault.

Possibly. But I haven't modified anything since the last update, which reset everything to default status.

I have, before this happened. Sorry, I forgot to update my sig.

Google "Mixcraft error there is a problem". Goes back to users of at least v6.

To trigger the error message??!? Maybe?!

I had MX6 and didn’t experience the problem, and I’ve never experienced the problem with MX8.

I recommend stop trying to customize Mixcraft files and also do a deep virus scan on your computer too.

Hi,

This error message is a feature, not a bug. It keeps you from using Mixcraft when files are corrupted or mismatched, preventing loss of work.
