Generated media and text media error

yes – pretty much every time they give me a response to the thread. I try what they suggest (everything from clean re-install) to deleting registry items, etc. They can’t figure it out.

Darla,
Did you install from a download or from a disc? If you reinstalled from the same download, the download may be corrupted, if from a disc then I don.t know.

yes, I have installed directly from the software disc that I purchased directly from Sony.. Also when I reintall, it tells me that I there is an update to 9.0b (mine is 9.0a) and i have tried installing that and see if it fixes, uninstalling, reinstalling only the disc without utilizing the update. Nothing seems to work.

Here’s an update…..after countless hours on tech support with sony, dell, microsoft, etc. and a ridiculous amount of time spent searching forums, I chose to completely reinstall my operating system taking it back to factory settings. I then reinstalled the sony vegas software and am no longer having the issue with the media generators not appearing to be able to edit. The issue that remains now is that the program continues to shut down unexpectedly, hang on rendering and/or tell me that there is insufficient memory and that I need to close other applications. The interesting thing is that I have no other apps running (even went to task manager to shut down everything possible) and my new system has 331GB of free space and my external hard drive has 431 so memory shouldn’t be an issue – so I am thinking. If anyone has advice on the matter of the hanging/shutdown/no memory issue – I’d much appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for all the great postings – they’ve been very helpful!
