When I start up my computer, it displays a
message stating that I am missing a file
called "emagic.386" and that my system.ini
relies on that file and that some applications rely on that file.
Any help would be great.

Ian-
I recently started getting that msg as well,
It's definately emagic.386....Did you move or delete any audio apps on your system?

heloo .. this is the first time i send to you this msg
i have a problem with my pc or with my program called
(( Logic Audio Platinum 3.5 ))
when i start the program ther is a msg called :
(( EMAGIC.386- drivers is missing. Re run setup program again
i think you have the solve of this problem
i wish that cos i want it very important to my workand thank you

I have a compaq presario and am having a problem installing my copy of Emagic. The 386 driver problem also remains, even after I have taken out the file from the system file.
What can I do. This is a bloody 900 dollar program!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have the same problem on my compaq presario
i deleted emagic.386 from the system file but it still doesn't work this logic audio ...
what is this emagic.386??? how can i find a way to solve this problem any help plz??

I'm having a similar problem with my machine not finding emagic.386 even after running the setup for Logic Audio a number of times. I don;t have a solution but I can tell any of you that are actually trying to get an Emagic program running that deleting any reference to emagic.386 will not help. This will only help if you have uninstalled an Emagic program and are sick of seeing the error message come up.

You can find your emagic.386 driver in
C:\Windows\System\emagic.386....But I'm sorry to say that, Logic audio doesn't work at all .. If you have any other news please let me some thank's

So is there any change to send this emagic.386 file via email? I formatted my HD, and after I re-installed Logic Audio, that 386 file wasn't there any more. Or do you know any places to download the file?
Thanx

I have the same problem! I can't find the driver anywhere on the net! Can anyone send it to me please?

hi "boys and girs",

Wassup guys?
I am havin the prob about emagic.386-driver. Plz Plz let me knw how cld sort this out and get the f**in programme to wrk. Cheerz ;-)

Bloody hell, seems like nobody is having luck with this. Well, I'm sick of seeing the same question/ problem reiterated over and over again without help.. I'm here to offer salvation.
Ok, I'd wager that 99% of you actually have emagic.386 on your system (in your windows\system folder.. make sure you make hidden files visible in the options). When you find it, *copy it* to your main windows folder AND make sure the line "device=emagic.386" (without the quotations) is in your system.ini file under the 386 enhanced section (scroll down, you'll see it). If you're not savy with computers, just use the "find file" function in your start menu to find system.ini and open it from that interface.
Restart computer and cross your fingers.
You might get some error messages at startup, but just click ok.

The emagic.386 file is a component of the little program "Miclogic", this is a tool, which can edit midi files. So delete the line "...=emagic.386" and there is no msg anymore.
