Vegas 6c will not open
Vegas opens fine the first time around but if I close the app and then try to open it again a few minutes later it just hangs. The splash screen is there and the CPU is workng at 50% on the Vegas app but it will hang until I “end process”.
I have XP and a good system, media manager disabled, I tried reinstalling Vegas. Thanks -

Hi Johnny,
This sounds like a problem I encountered last year.
The Solution for me:
If the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder contains a 76KB TWAIN_32.DLL file dated 7/1996: Replace it with the 46KB lowercase twain_32.dll file located in the C:\WINDOWS folder.

Also, when you open the task manager, you’ll see a “wowexec” is open. If you kill that process, Vegas will continue to load. The cause for the wowexec being loaded is related to the above post or some other driver being loaded.

1st Uninstal the Vegas then Go to “RUN” then Type ” %TEMP% ” in it and then ” OK ” then the your temp folder will open make a backup of it and then delete all the files in it. Restart Computer Then Install Vegas Again.
Hope This’ll HelpRegards ALi

Thankyou Dan, Jeditv, and Majnoo,
I killed the wowexec in taskmanager and Zing! Vegas opened right up. I can close Vegas and open it again without having to do this little trick, until my next session. I’ll try Dan Crandall’s trick later to make it permanent.
Thanks everybody for quick Help.

I’m assuming that you MOVED the lower-case twain file from the windows folder to the system 32 folder rather than COPY. And that you deleted the upper-case TWAIN. Is that right?

Johnny,
I don’t think it really matters, but I renamed the uppercase TWAIN_32.DLL to TWAIN_32.OLD and then copied the lowercase twain_32.DLL from c:/windows to the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory.
