please help, my vegas has serious problems
for some reason my preview and genral running of vegas is lagging really badly. doing simple tasks such as over lapping two clips with no effects makes the preview skip 50 or more frames at a time most of the settings are factory settings.
this is the case with vegas 7 and 6 so it’s not the version im using. my pc is a p4 2.4ghz processer 2gigs of ram. a sound blaster x-fi plat sound card and a 6800gs 256mg gddr3 ram gfx card. so the power of my pc shouldn’t be a problem i know a friend of mine runs his vegas with no problems and his pc is 1.8ghz and only 512ram with only onboard sound and gfx.
ive been through all the trouble shooting and everything is perfect there is no reason for this to happen. i even downloaded the .net framework 2.0 just incase that might of been the problem. im not even using hd infact im using the lowest quality the program can use and ive even turned off the view waveforms and frames to save processing power.
my computer is completely spyware and virus free my hard drive has been defragged my registry is error free i just cant think of any other reason why vegas is behaving so poorly on my computer!
i found one problem close to this but he seemed to only have a problem with sony vegas 7 where as my problem is just vegas in general. for any help with this would i would be so greatful. thank you.

Just a thought that you have probably already checked but is does the same thing happen no matter what setting your preview window is on best as compared to preview?

Just a long shot here but do you have a high number set in your Dynamic RAM preview under Options/Preference/Video tab. If so try setting it down to 16MB or even 0MB and see what happens.

i tired it and it seems to have no effect at all! 🙁 have 2 gigs of ram anyway so even at the max it allows me of 1024 it’s still not killing vegas’s breathing room!
i just installed the trail version of adobe premire 2.0 as a test and that runs perfectly and needs alot more of my system resorses then vegas does. but i like vegas and have already done alot of work in it so i dont really want to change not to mention adobe is alot more expencive.
so the problem is definatley vegas. does anyone know if vegas has compatiblity problems with ethier the soundblast x-fi platinum or 6800gs 256 ddr3
thanks

This could be a long shot as well, but i had that problem as well, when my footage I was trying to play was on a faulty SATA hard drive. Try unpluging any SATA drives you may have then reboot the computer, play the footage from another drive, it worked for me. As long as my SATA drive is not plugged in, Vegas works perfectly, I also got a lot of “delayed write file” errors with that drive.
