    I have used sony vegas plenty of times in the past, and it has worked fine.
    In fact just over 24hours ago I was using it. But all of a sudden it refuses to load because it crashes on “initializing directx plugins” or whatever.
    I really don;t know whats wrong…please help me =[

    Just give it a good clean including your registry, defrag and restart your computer and see if vegas starts.
    This normally works.

    Hey Alex,
    Not sure if restarting fixed your problem or not, but came across this on the internet – Basically some third party applications you can use to temporarily disable DirectX plugins that may be causing Vegas to crash on startup.

    Managing DirectX plug-ins

    DirectX plug-ins are registered and have specific path locations written to the registry. For this reason, you should manage DirectX plug-ins using a third-party plug-in manager application. Use one of the plug-in managers listed below to turn off DirectX plug-ins which fail to initialize, or which cause Adobe Audition to freeze at startup. For detailed instructions on how to use the plug-in manager refer to the website listed below and the program’s user guide.
