Windows Demo Download
Download MAGIC demo (or multi-user demo) for all Windows (including xp/vista and Windows 7).
Practice MAGIC Demo for Windows (all windows including xp/vista/and Windows 7): Full program including self-running demo (5 mb) To download this fully functional time-limited copy of Practice MAGIC, you will need five megabytes of free hard disk space. This program demonstrates a variety of features not all of which you may be interested in. When you purchase the program, you should specify which features you need. This demo is a multiuser version. There is an extra charge when you purchase the optioinal multiuser feature.
When you download the MAGIC file, you will be given the option of saving the file to disk or opening it. We recommend saving it; after it is saved you will again be given the option of running the file, which you should accept. The installation process will begin with a box with several buttons, the top most reads "unzip," which is the one you should click on. There will then be a black screen for a few moments that should require no response from you. Next a screen will remind you to close all software currently running, to which you should click "OK" if no other software is running. The next dialog box you will see is entitled "Practice MAGIC Setup." This dialog box will suggests c:\magic as the directory to which to install MAGIC; you should accept that suggestion by clicking on the big button with the picture of a computer an software boxes in it. (That screen in the installation may be a bit confusing. It has two normal looking buttons that say "change directory" and "exit setup" in the dialogue box and neither of them are the options you want. The one you want is the big square box button in the middle left of the dialogue box with the picture of a computer and software box in it and no words. At first glance you may not realize it is a button that you can click on. Click on that.) During installation it is normal for you to receive some messages indicating that various files being installed are not newer than the equivalent file that is already installed; it will suggest that you keep the more recent file that you already have on disk, which is what we recommend.
Once installed, run the Practice MAGIC program (In Windows XP: START-->PROGRAMS-->MAGIC-->PRACTICEMAGIC); DO NOT RERUN THE INSTALLATION SOFTWARE that you downloaded. Clicking on MAGIC MANUAL instead of Practice MAGIC will cause your web-browser to be activated and the MAGIC Hypertext Manual will automatically be displayed, allowing you to read about all the features, and also offering a Trouble Shooting section that provides hypertext links to relevant sections of the manual. You can also use the FIND option in the EDIT menu of your Browser to locate the section(s) of the manual you are interested in. Each time you run Practice MAGIC you will be given the option of running the standard program, or running it as a self-prompting demonstration program that automatically walks you through the program and illustrates on screen many of the features of Practice MAGIC. Look at the self-prompting demonstration and then play with the program, entering client information and printing forms. If you later purchase and install the full program, all the information you have entered will be transferred to the new program.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING ON A 64-BIT WINDOWS COMPUTER, YOU MUST PLACE THE ENTIRE DOWNLOADED MAGIC PACKAGE IN THE X-86 FOLDER, OR THE PACKAGE WILL NOT EVEN OPEN UP.
