Sony Vegas Freezes ‘Creating windows’
-
I just had this issue and realized I had sent a folder to the trash bin that was one of my Vegas “Favorites.” I went to trash an restored and seems to work fine now.
I recall having this issue with the Favorites feature before where the program is searching for folders that no longer exist.
Information on this post was very helpful. thanks!

Your solution worked! Thank you so much! I was so worried that I would never be able to use my favorite video editing program ever again.

I found another possibility. I was hanging up on loading right at the “Creating windows…” phase. Startup would continue about 30 seconds later.
Not long ago I uninstalled an OFX plugin NewBlue titler. I noticed that some of the plug-in names remained in the list of Video FX. After some hunting I found the folder “C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\NewBlue\”. I removed the NewBlue folder (just moved to my desktop to test). Started up the program multiple times and each time there was barely a delay at “Creating windows…”
My suspicion is NewBlue didn’t cleanly uninstall and Sony was looking for its pieces. I wish there was an easier way to manage plugins. I only found the folder by looking through logs in ” C:\Users\Kevin\AppData\Local\Sony\Movie Studio Platinum\13.0″. It doesn’t look like all plug-ins are located in the same place.

hi i found a fix for you guys on this Go to-Drive (c)/Windows/System 32/(Search and copy) d3d9.dll and paste it in your vegas installation folder or you can directly download the d3d9.dll from here – https://www.dll-files.com/d3d9.dll.html

It worked ???? Thanks I almost spent a whole day looking for a solution.

Hi all,
Having wasted a day trying to get my Windows 10 workstation to launch Vegas 16 Pro without freezing on ‘Creating Windows’, any more bright ideas appreciated. I am a very long-time Vegas and PC user so it is rare that I have this much trouble solving a problem.
It was working fine this morning, as far as I know I have done nothing to the PC. Suddenly it started to throw a white screen into my central (3-screen) monitor set up – along with the Creating Windows message – and refuses to boot up. VEGAS 15 Pro (still installed) is doing the same thing, which must be a significant clue. The question is what is the software trying/failing to do?
I have a number of external/internal drives but they are all on/live so it can’t be failing to find media.
I have tried the various suggestions about replacing damaged/missing d3d9.dll files and removing ExplorerFavorites.txt files – not working for me, sadly. If I do a Ctrl+Shift start on Vegas it will start, once – but all my panes are in the wrong place so this sin’t a long term solution.
From the mass of people clearly suffering from this issue, are MAGIX showing any intelligent leadership in identifying the issue to this annoying problem? I have sent a service request and will post it if I get an answer.
John M.
Update: MAGIX totally failing to engage so far, which is poor – and and problem persists. I have done two complete re-installs including deep registry cleans; no difference. Starting software with Ctrl+Shift works but gives me ‘vanilla’ single screen set up – I typically work on three screen set up. As soon as I move a window and re-start the system freezes up again at ‘Creating Windows’. Someone out there (or at MAGIX) must know what the software is trying/failing to do at this point.

Hi there, not sure if you still have this issue, but here’s what solved mine. I had to go into my C drive, click ‘program files’, then select ‘common files’, then ‘OFX’, then ‘Plugins’. Located in this folder were several sony vegas plugins that were dysfunctional. Delete the plug-ins, then attempt to load your application. It should work. 🙂
