Thanks Mark, but like John Rofrano mentioned above that he discovered the problem last evening and helped resolve it. Vegas12 was trying to load a Vegas12 veg file in Vegas10 even though I was trying to open in within Vegas12. Crazy… Somehow John caught on to what was in no way obvious. Without John’s help our PBS series would have never made it through all the technical evaluation that PBS puts the shows through before they air.
I agree with John also that Windows almost takes full time attention to get everything to work or keep working. I pity anyone just starting out with Windows. I started with computer when the largest hard drive available was 20 megs so I’m not new to computing but I’m constantly having issues.
