Also, if I’m not mistaken, Windows 7, by default, installs IPv6 as well as IPv4. You might want to ask your network administrator if he wants you to remove the IPv6 protocol. But I don’t think that’s the problem. But it may be a start. That’s one of the differences between XP and Windows 64. Also, can you duplicate this problem by transferring other kinds of large files, like still photos? etc.? Or is only a problem with video transfers like these?
There are some answers to similar questions on W7 on the Internet…

You may find that #6 may be a big help…

Good Luck! Seems like the more MS tries to improve their OS with capabilities like these, something wraps us around the axle!

Jonathan, there are many here on this board that do not have crashes every day with Vegas 9.0e. I am one of them. No problems whatsoever. Does that mean there are no problems? Nope. But we are trying to remotely troubleshoot a problem with less than optimal information. Perhaps part of the answer to this is to have everyone load Teamviewer so can remotely access their machines and get to the root cause. If you want me to log in, please send some money to my Paypal account (G).
As I mentioned, when I accidentally downloaded the 32 bit version of 9.0e onto my 64 bit OS, I did have very similar crashes. When I discovered that I had done that, I reloaded the 64 bit version and my problems *vanished*. I asked Ken if he was sure he had downloaded the 64 bit version, and have yet to get a response.
Windows is not a Mac. There are a vast array of possible configurations. Is Sony doing a great job of helping solve this? I’m not convinced. But it’s very frustrating to continually hear people blame Vegas for what is likely a hardware/OS problem. Why do I think that? Because if it was a bug like that, it would be reproduceable by all of us. Not just one user. You don’t just say, “hey because my machine crashes Vegas sucks.” Could it be a bug affecting, let’s say, all 4 monitor setups? Yes. But that isn’t the same as all of us experiencing it. Like I said, some of us are not having crashes, at all.
It would be nice if Sony had some real technical support. I’ve not needed it yet, but I’ve not heard a lot of great things about them. But I could be wrong.

Ken, in rereading the thread, did you make sure you downloaded the 64 bit version of Vegas for your machine? I had a lot of crashes like you describe when I downloaded, by accident, the 32 bit version. (it’s easy to do if you are working quickly). Now, given the comapatability issues of 9.x 64 bit with 32 bit plug ins, I would say that if I had to be compatible with some plugins, given my experience, I would stay on either XP (32 bit) or Vista (32 bit) or even downgrade to Windows 7 32 bit. But the 32 bit version of Vegas does seem to have problems on the 64 bit version of Win 7.
Hope this helps…

I would try dropping some of the monitors and see if it goes away. I don’t have that problem with two monitors, for example. And run a simpler timeline just to isolate the issue, if possible. Anything change lately? Any new updates? Like new monitor drivers (G).

I haven’t ever seen that. I would suspect a video card problem. Check that your drivers are up to date from the card’s manufacturer. This is one of the frustrations using Windows over the Mac, where drivers are much more stable because of the narrow range of hardware & OSs.

Joel, the fact that you crash when you ‘push the spacebar to play the clip” is not a Vegas problem. Many thousands of us do that each day with Vegas with no crashes. I also work with Neoscene on Win 64, with no crashes (yet). The fact that you and a few others are having these problems does not point to Vegas being the problem. It points to something with your system.
Perhaps you are using a plug in that is not compatable with W64. Perhaps it’s some component of your system. Maybe something is failing. I have a very vanilla system, with only a eSata drive (external). I don’t use many plug ins, and the ones I use are supporting W64.
So go back to your hardware and strip out the oddities. Something is incapable, and you are likely to have it move with you to Adobe, or whatever other system you think will solve world hunger.
Good luck.

Ken, it might be helpful if you want us to help you troubleshoot this, to understand under what conditions you ‘crash’. Is it a freeze? If a crash, what is the error message thrown?
Rather than blame bill gates, which is lame, because thousands of people are successfully editing on Vegas, Adobe, and many other applications on Windows without crashing, so let’s just stop blaming Billg. Hell, he doesn’t even work there anymore!
I use Windows 7 and Vegas, along with Lightroom, and many other applications. My machine does not crash or freeze. When it does, it’s almost never the application, but hardware, and sometimes software. It’s rarely Windows itself.
Get a grip and give us the data to really help you. It seems you have a modern system. It’s not the system per se, though it could be a malfunctioning piece of hardware. It also could be a bug you have found in Vegas. So what’s causing the crashes?

Joel, these kind of crashes do not happen on my similar Windows 7 64 bit machine. I’ve just done a simple time line of over 1 hour on Vegas, no problems.
I would suspect there is something wrong with your hardware. Since I don’t have striped drives, I would start there with my suspicions. See if you can do a simple timeline like you state, with no striping. Also, check to make sure you downloaded the 64 bit version, as it’s easy to download the wrong version. I did it and had problems that instantly went away when I downloaded the 64 bit version. Are your crashes blue screens of death or just that Vegas ends without warning? If the machine is actually hanging up (ie. locking up and then needing a full reboot), I would *highly* suspect the hardware, maybe even the memory being root cause. A bad drive controller or motherboard could also cause this. Unlikely it’s your video card. And likely you will have the same problem with Adobe. Best of luck.

How do you protect the surface of the disk from being scratched on it’s path through the printer?

Ok. Thanks! That eliminates the baseline of understanding if you have appropriate hardware. You do. So we are on to the more complex possible issues. I have not yet experienced this problem in using Vegas.
