I have now resolved this issue by uninstalling Vegas 14 and then re downloaded it and installed it again. Luckily, the programme did restart as normal and then, when prompted I re-entered the serial code and everything was back to normal….even the file I had been working on, with all the edit points etc, even tho it did the “last file was not saved correctly, would you like to restore it”.
It did seem a drastic measure for the programme was only “not responding” and something that normally closing and reopening the programme would have resolved. Glad I didn’t have to go down the re-install windows route.
Hope this helps someone if they get the same crash/error message
