I am certainly glad to hear that. It is now just finding what the problem is. These were just normally installed Platium premium pro 9 on two different computers in the default mode. If default will not work where do I start? I want them to work and not do a “work around” the problem. Am I right about help from Sony?
I think all files are on one external hard drive although the first program was on a couple. It reacted a little differently. -
Default will work just fine.
Let’s go back to square by having you list your computer specs such as CPU, OS, RAM, size of hard drive(s). -
The current lap top is an HP G60-4400 dual processor T4300 both 2.1 gig of course. I have a 500 gig hard drive. Toshiba driver mk3252gsx ata device The OS is windows 7 home premium. Which was upgraded from windows xp. The other one is a lenovo windows 7 just a few months old
The external HD is a 3 terabite new WD My Book 1140 usb Which has about 800 gig loaded from other HD’s It is running on usb2 but could run on usb3 which neither computer has unfortunately.
When the problem surfaced I could not make the lenovo work so I moved the external hard drive from the lenovo and connected it to the HP. I was happy because I thought it did the first project ok and it was fixed. But I could not do it ok again on the HP. This would indicate to me the external HD has effected it some way. Smaller programs of this type seem to work ok at least if about 16 minutes or less. I had to rebuild some of the projects on the HP because some of the pictures were on the Lenovo C drive. Almost everything is on the external HD on the HP
The problem is this. Depending upon the size of the project It might go to 50 to 65 percent of a less than 40 minute project. It can crash in two ways. One it crashes and it goes to desktop display. Or it goes to a grayout and says windows has stopped working. (or is it vegas pretty sure it is windows) Both times Vegas says it has to be restored. Windows looks for a solution which it never finds, or will ever find in my opinion. 🙂 Of course I could put a project on another HD but I could spend the rest of my life looking for a fix, Everything is on this drive.

A little more info. The HP is a 32 bit machine with a windows experience index of 3.3 The Lenovo is a 64 bit computer. 4 gig of memory the HP has 3 gig or ram.

Problem solved. I moved the files to my C drive and ran the program there OK. Apparently the external drive effected the program somehow and it crashed. The drive is a new Western Digital, My Book, Essentials 3TB. I’m not very happy about this because I paid 149 for it and any expectations that Office Depot would help me contact WD for a solution was useless. Support from a HD manufacturer has been non existent for me in the past so I don’t expect anything here. But I will give it a try. Not using the drive for Vegas is not what I bought it for. Have a nice day.

Glad to hear that you got it sorted out.
I vaguely remember reading (another Vegas forum?) that hard drives over 2 TB. in size were causing problems for some users.
Try and trade that drive in for a smaller one.
If you can’t, keep it for back up purposes and buy a 1 TB. model for use with Vegas. -
Back up is what I bought it for but I am stuck with it now. Thanks for your help. It made me analyze the situation and decide to check out the HD causing the problem.
