Vegas 10 and 11 64bit suddenly won’t even start
I have a strange issue with both my versions of V10 and 11 Pro, the 64bit versions only seem to have broken, and badly.
They simply won’t start, immediately after starting them the errorreportlauncher appears with the vegas.exe in the processes list then both disappear, within a few seconds, and what is REALLY wierd, is that only a few days ago, both versions seemed fine.
Now, you guys will love this, I even went back to a ghost of my system drive 10, 15, and then 27 days ago, and the issue was still the same, now that BLOWS MY MIND.
Any ideas, the last thing I was doing in them, was practicing how to use NewBlueFX Titler, but the earlier ghosts would not have had any of that experience??
I tried reinstalling and I tried the reset to defaults on open, no dice.

To quote Sr. Arthur Conan Doyle, “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”
It sounds like you’ve just proved that it’s not software related. Is it possible that you have a failing memory chip? or some other hardware that’s failing and causing Vegas Pro to abend? I would run memtest just to be sure it isn’t bad memory.

John,
I racked my brain, and checked all my software, I got a boiler plate response from Sony’s support arm in Australia, he was not sure either, I checked all my activations, they all seemed fine, but some needed updating, since I moved, but overall I was at a completel loss, MOST ESPECIALLY since the earlier ghosts eliminated software conflicts etc.
Then it occured to me, I have a Bluetooth Dongle, that only last night I removed, (which I never do) to insert a client’s external drive, I had it out on the restore of each ghost too, so I thought, would it be possible it is a hardware enumeration process that is missing this hardware?, and lo and behold, it worked, the applications run when that is reinserted!
Wow, my mind is blown, just like Terry Crews here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNbMvlPc_7UGood for future reference anyway, and know that all other apps, EVEN the 32 bit versions of 10 and 11 worked, without this in.

Like I said… you eliminated it being a software problem so it must have been a hardware problem “no matter how improbable“. I’m glad you figured out what hardware it was.
