If you scroll down a ways (or search) I uploaded the latest CPU test that has all the recent Xeons and i7 CPUs.

Try downloading and installing Microsoft .Net 4.0 from this link:

Try turning off any security/antivirus software you have running and try launching again.
Are there additional user accounts set up on that computer? Are you logged in as administrator?

Take the side off your tower, and if possible place a small fan as close to your ‘open’ computer as possible. The fan should be blowing AWAY from the computer (sucking hot air away). Keep the fan running while you’re rendering.
ALSO- it’s probably best to check if the cooling fan on top of your CPU is actually working. I’ve seen dead fans before, and once where the power connector for the fan was not plugged into the motherboard. A poor performing CPU fan will allow the CPU, under load, to get too hot. If the entire computer locks up, this is the first place i’d look.
ALSO- it’s probably best to blow the dust our of the computer first (or gently vacuum the insides). Unplug the power cord before doing this.

Is the CPU overheating? Is this a laptop?

What is the output destination? An external drive? The system (C:) drive? Of it errors immedi when starting it might be an administrative error (unable to write to the drive) or avail space on the drive.

I thought you stated that these clips were from a new camera. My bad….

You state you have sufficient memory, but it might not be sufficient enough for the new video files you’re using. Do you old video camera video files still work fine in the software? If so, then rest assured your computer is not powerful enough to handle the new video files you are trying to use. Quite a few years ago I was using Vegas Pro 8 with no problems, but after buying a new Sony video camera the software would occasionally crash when working with the new video clips. I then upgraded the RAM from 4gb to 8gb and the crashing never came back. Same problem you are having.
It may be a too slow CPU or not enough memory. It might have been built as a video editing workstation many years ago (since you’re running Windows XP), but you’ve basically answered your own question.
The computer is not powerful enough to edit the footage provided by your new video camera.

If I knew for certainty that my system had a virus, I would not trust any software to safely remove it. No program is 100%. I’d reformat the system drive and reinstall the OS.

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling Vegas? Have you installed any software/patches/add-ons that could have affected the video codecs since you last uninstalled k-lite?
