    I have this question posted elsewhere, too, but I wanted to solicit responses from users here as well here is my problem:

    After not editing for a few months, the other day I opened a .veg file in my Vegas 8.c and wanted to edit text in a media generator clip. I selected and right-clicked the event, then chose edit from the drop down list, but all that I saw was a blank box with no text on the screen, and typing in any text was futile. I even started a new project and dragged down a media generator clip, but could not add any text, either. Am I doing something wrong, or have I forgotten how to use Vegas (LOL!)? Is my program corrupt? Should I reload 8.0c, or move up to 8.1? Should I even use 8.1?? If I do either, will all of my custom settings remain (such as window placement)? I run Windows 7 Professional (32-bit) with 4 GIG RAM, and I believe that I have plenty of horsepower, but why I can’t generate text is beyond me. The Vegas manual does not seem to point me in the right direction, either. The ProType Titler does appear to work, though. Please help! I either have experienced a senior moment or there is a serious problem with Vegas.

    I just wanted everybody to know that his problem as been resolved! A Vegas reset (CTRL-SHIFT) did the trick! I got my text editing back!! Although I lost my screen layouts, I was able to recapture them on the drop down menu. The only preference that I lost was for the TEMP files, which I summarily correct. All now appears to be well.
