Vegas 8 pro crashing after “Querying additional plug-in interfaces” stage during loading
I have sony vegas 8.0 pro and whenever I start it up, it gets as far as the “Querying additional plug-in interfaces” stage and then a box comes up that says…”Vegas80.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”
It’s always that one stage where it stops working and it gets on my nerves cause I wanna edit with the program!!!!1!!1 🙁
If you have any ideas on why this is happening, please post in this thread! Even if you don’t have any idea at all…still post…cause I need all the help I can get! 🙁

I just had a similar problem this week — twice. The first was after I did a large round of house cleaning — removing programs I wasn’t using, deleting files I didn’t need, etc. Then Vegas 8 stopped loading. It quit at the same place as yours, though the error message I was getting is different. I was getting a “The memory could not be read” message — weird thing is, it was being attributed to rundll32.exe, not Vegas itself.
I went through several hoops, but the one that got me back on track was uninstalling Vegas and removing all references to Vegas 8 from Windows’ registry. (Vegas 6 was working fine, so I didn’t touch any generic Vegas or Vegas 6 specific entries.) Then I reinstalled Vegas 8. I had tried uninstalling / reinstalling multiple times before that, but nothing helped until I cleaned out the registry.
It worked okay for a couple days, and then — after installing Windows Media Encoder 9 — I started getting the exact same error message when trying to run Vegas 8. I uninstalled WME, tried running Vegas, and got the message again — but this time, Vegas continued to load anyhow. And now the message doesn’t show up anymore. Why WME would cause this, I don’t know. I’m sure I’ve had it installed before without problem.
Not sure if my machine was having the same as yours, but hopefully this will provide some leads.

I had this exact thing happen to me today after installing the Excalibur plug-ins. I actually opened up all my other Sony programs (DVD Studio, Sound Forge, Acid Pro) first, and then tried opening Vegas 8 after that. It loaded fine twice after I initialized registration on the Excalibur plugs. Hopefully that is the last I will see of this behavior.

Okay so I fixed it. What I did is I first re-installed it. Then, I opened up my task manager, found the process for vegas, and set it’s priority to “high”. And now when i run it, I don’t use the desktop shortcut. I click on the actual program to open it and now it works perfectly 🙂
This however may not be the same problem that you are having so I’m sorry if what I did doesn’t fix it for you…
