    You didn’t state what you upgraded. MB, CPU, whole new system, etc.? Vegas should probably run fine with 1gig of ram, but you’d be better off getting another gig. I have two gig of Corsair XMS and it runs great.

    Load the drivers for the video card that came with the card. Don’t load the latest from Nvidia.

    Also make sure you update the bios of the board to the latest version. There have been problems with this board and its bios

    OK Jeremy:) Thats actually something i havent tried…:) but when i just tried to install the drivers from the cd that came with the 3d card i didnt get any options over what drivers i can install.. Are they on the net to? Can you post a link here and name one driver who works with vegas??

    If we have to keep track of all the drivers which work/don’t work with any particular system or NLE, somebody is going to have to be paying us a lot bucks 🙂 For all of us on the forum, its a labor of love for our systems and even then we just cannot know it all – we try though 🙂

    If you are running WInXP, go Start|Settings|Control Panel|System|Hardware|Device Manager. Choose your display adapter and uninstall the existing driver. Reboot windows and when it wants to reinstall the drivers, choose the “Have Disc” and install from your disc.

    This is not a hardware issue but a driver problem with either your motherboard BIOS or with the display adapter. Unfortunately I’m just not sure which one is gong to solve the problem.
