Vegas hangs on Directx initialization
I’ve reviewed the older messages on this subject and wanted to know if anyone has new suggestions. I have a new laptop (Win7 Pro) and tried installing Vegas 9, then Vegas 8 and the splash screen hangs on ‘initializing Directx’. I tried eliminating the startup programs to no avail. I went to MS website and installed all updated Directx software. This didn’t make any difference. Everything else works. I am able to run all other programs normally.
This is frustrating because I bought the laptop specifically to run Vegas, and run it faster than my older machine!
Thanks for any suggestions.

I solved my own issue and maybe this will help someone else.
Right click on the vegas icon and choose “Troubleshoot compatibility”.
You get two choices; choose the “Troubleshoot Program” option.
You can then choose the version of Windows where Vegas worked for you. I picked XP SP3. Problem seems solved. No longer hangs on the Directx initialization.
