  • Unsupported file format message while loading a VEG file

    Posted by Roger Bansemer on December 17, 2009 at 4:00 pm

    I have gotten this message before but never with a VEG file.

    When I click on my VEG file to load the project I get this message:
    “An error occured while loading the project file carshow.veg. The file is an unsupported format.”

    I’ve tried opening my backup file but I get the same message.

    This is a newly formated HD so I had to put the program back on the computer from my external backup drive. All the other projects from the backup drive work but not this most recent one.
    I’m using Vegas 8 with the newest updates.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Roger,
    I have not run into this problem before. Have you tried downloading the trial version for 9 and see if that helps? Of course Vegas 8 can’t open 9 files so at least rule that out.
    When was this file created in reference to the others that do open? I remembering answering one of your posts a while back where you had something similar happen. I asked you to make sure to have the defaults set for Vegas and to hold down cntrl shift on launch to do that. Whatever it did it fixed your problem. Sorry I can’t recall exactly what it was at this point. Hope this helps.
    Joe

    I have started to get this message of late too. I’m running Windows 7. Are you? The really odd thing is, if I log out and then in again the file opens without a problem.
