    Hey Guys, I am the newest member of you and I usually come to this page when ever I have troubles I actually see that Steve and John are the ones that help the most but anyways I have a BIG TROUBLE with my Sony Vegas Pro
    I use to run Sony vegas pro 11 in a 64 bit 2 GB ram Old PC with Win-7
    I now have Windows 8 64 bit 4 GB ram
    I have tried with sony vegas pro 08 pro 09 pro 10 pro 11 and pro 12 but it wont open…
    it says and I quote
    “Error while starting Sony Vegas Pro
    System Is low on memory reduse the use of memory by closing other aplications”
    …I dont have anything else opened I go to task manager it says 3,5 GB of ram not used… If some one could please help me I would really apreciate it

    You might look at your paging memory… check the threads for memory paging here, I seem to remember a discussion on “low memory” issues. By default on installation Windows should have set the paging file, but something might have changed it. Worth a look.

    I have Vegas Pro 12.0 running on Windows 8 64-bit with 2GB of memory running in a VMware virtual machine and it works fine. Something about your computer is not right. It would be hard for one of us to determine what you might have done to it to put it in this state but I assure you that if you re-install Windows 8 and then install Vegas Pro 12.0 it all works just fine. I assume you have lots of other software installed and who knows what could be affecting it. Do you have any codec-paks installed? They could mess things up. I would contact Sony since you can’t even get their software to run.

    Not sure if this will work with a Windows 8 box, but if there is a ‘Run’ box, type: msconfig
    A window should open, click on the ‘Startup’ tab. Uncheck EVERYTHING that has a check mark EXCEPT your anti-virus software. Reboot the computer.

    Many programs that are installed/downloaded will enable themselves to ‘semi-start’ on computer boot, which uses up system resources- degrading performance. By unchecking their startup they will still open/run fine, but not ‘semi-start’ when you boot up the computer.

    good advice Dave, but you know how developers are getting around this? creating keys in the registry so their useless apps run as services linked to svchost… making it hard for the average user to get rid of them, I don’t know why this obsession about pre-loading everything at boot time, really, if I want to use QuickTime or update my Adobe software I can do it manually, no need for the software to be loaded in my system RAM and checking every few minutes for updates and God knows what, irritating !

    It is highly annoying when developers do this. It’s also a good idea to run ‘services.msc’ and do a cleanup in there. Many are set to ‘automatic’, hence usually run at startup (these are tied to the registry entries you spoke of), so I just set them to manual. I usually ‘sweep’ my system about twice a year. I don’t download much, luckily.
