COM error
HELP! please urgent.
i have a master project thats made up of many avi clips (not VEG files), i lined up all the clips in the master project the way i like them which took a while. Now everytime i go to open the master project, i get an error “the COM object failed to initialize”.
I tried reinstalling vegas 7, .net framework, direct x, and it just gives the same error. other projects open up fine.
help please?

This thread involved the same error message – only in Sound Forge. Might be of some help:

If you have the YourProject.veg.bak file in you directory, open that one by renaming it to YourProject.veg.veg
Sometimes the Project file gets damaged but the .bak will work.JK

The problem has been resolved for me by trawling for other people having COM issues. Try giving full control permissions for “Administrators” using the RegEDIT tool to change permissions on the folder key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesEventlogSecurity”. Vegas Pro 8 and the demo of Vegas Pro 9 were both aided by this fix. I’d previously given up on installing this for when I’m using my wife’s PC but my ambition to demo VP9 encouraged me to try harder!
Right mouse this folder in regedit. Confirm Administrators is ticked for FULL CONTROL, if it isn’t – this might fix all your troubles!
Not sure how Windows gets into a state where you can’t control this resource even while you are logged in as an Administrator. Also, YMMV – and only go into regedit if you feel competent that you could change ANYTHING you alter back by yourself please.
