Hello,

I use Magix and usually when I play a video on the timeline, the orange cursor moves along the video on the timeline: now it doesn't move anymore, do you know why? Thanks.



Configuration: Windows / Firefox 85.0

    Hello, the first simple thing to do
    before messing up your computer at the slightest incident, like "properly" uninstalling software, is a delicate operation. If you encounter a persistent bug, consider performing a "system restore to a previous date" before the bug—this is the term used by Windows. This operation allows you to revert your system to the state it was in before the chosen date.
    Press the Windows key + the pause key (top right) for System Protection, then System Restore in the box that appears, and follow the guide.
    A second way is to go to This PC, Control Panel, System, Security, System, and on the left: System Protection, System Properties, Restore.
    It’s completely risk-free and often beneficial; you can cancel the operation by choosing to return to the current date.
    You may risk losing only the ongoing virtual project for the video, but not the files.

    Create a restore point before installing or modifying any software
    in "System Properties" "System Protection, type Create "give it a name including the date and time" ok.

    "Donkeys change their minds, idiots don't."
    Remember to mark your message as "resolved" if that is the case.

      So the problem is that I haven't reopened Magix since 2014.... so I wouldn't be able to estimate the date to restore for it to work properly.... in the meantime, my PC has experienced a lot...

        Hello, still test it, it's risk-free. It's not like your cursor has been stuck for 10 years; but if it's the PC that's given up the ghost...

    Good evening, okay I'll see, but I will thoroughly study the changes I might encounter if I restore to an earlier date, and if I go too far back, I might lose data or software that I've installed since, and I didn't make a list....
