Hi Len, if you have the time that would be great...you know having another
person to trouble shoot always helps. When are you available? I need to
grab Skype, as I don't have it on here...um unless you want to try the Team
Talk server?

Thanks Steve, thing is I already have the image files. Now this is
something I need answering. When I launch Independence, I get the option of
installing from a volume, but I don't get an option to specify where that
volume is, but when I run the .exe from within the image folder I saved, it
prompts me to browse to the DVD content...and it won't recognize the image
files I have.
Ok, so are the image files classed as the "volume" or the "content"? It
seems as if Independence is expecting the volume to be in a certain place in
order to install it from that volume, but where is that? I could download
again, but would rather get my head around the whole process. Cheers steve.

Steve,
This happened to Juan as well because he had Basic, then upgraded later, as
did I.
First, you have to understand Magix's weird naming conventions. The
Independence library goes into a directory called Magix\Independence
Libraries\Independence xxx, where xxx is either Basic or Pro. That whole
stem, starting with "Magix", is placed directly under, or inside, the path
you specify when installing the product. So if you say you want Independence
installed in E:\My Softsynths, you'll get E:\My
softsynths\Magix\Independence libraries\Independence xxx (again, xxx=Basic
or Pro).
Now, what you have to do is, when upgrading Pro from Basic, first rename (or
copy) the Basic folder you already have to one where Pro replaces Basic in
its name (see above). Next, start the installer and specify the stem
directory (see above). The installer will find what you already have,
properly named Magix\Independence libraries\Independence Pro, and carry on
with the download. If you use the JAWS cursor to watch the screen, you'll
see a whole bunch of things go flying buy, and the number rapidly climb to
somewhere in the 1800's I think it is. Then, things will slow down to
sub-light speed of activity, your download will commence with the ninth file
in the lot, and the rest, as they say, is future history.
Hope this helps.

Ok, I’ve gone through the usual procedure to install, but when--
selecting where to install from, e.g, DVD, On line or volume, it says
it’s going to install Independence Basic. I have all the Independence
Pro image files, so is there something I’m missing? Steve.
