Sony Vegas Pro 8.0b Startup Crash

[Mike Kujbida]

[Devin Leyden] “But I think it is the audio.”

I suspect you’re right.
I searched a few other forums but didn’t find anything I would consider a solution for you 🙁

“Can I upgrade the program without launching the program?”

You certainly can.
Download 8.0c and install it.
There’s no need to launch Vegas to do this.
