Maximum PC recently did some head-to-head tests between XP and Vista on otherwise identical hardware. They reported that in every test case the XP was averaging 25% faster than the Vista box. Their test suite includes a Photoshop render and a Premiere render.
They also tested memory and processors on otherwise identical computers. One to two cores was definitely faster in all their tests, four cores was a mixed bag because some of the test applications would only use two cores. (Even so, if you have four cores available, then Windows background processes could have a core to themselves). Memory had a very small difference from DDR2 to DDR3 except in Games, where the difference was substantial.
This matches my experience where I have two identical laptops except that one came with XP installed, and the other that was purchased a few months later had Vista. Everything on the Vista laptop runs slower than the same application on the XP laptop. Everything.

Make sure that you have “Auto Ripple” turned off.

“Update my old account”
That would have required logging in, which I couldn’t. I use RoboKey for all my logins, but my previous login information didn’t work. I’ll admit that I was offline for a few months during and after the move. I tried find a contact email address on the Cow site to ask about restarting my old account, but it appears that you can’t contact the Cow without first logging in.We use the same policy on a yahoo group (Vx2K) where I am a moderator – first time members are moderated until they demonstrate their civility and sticking to the forum community. It’s reduced the spam to nearly zero.

“Do I have to change any setting in the audio prefs?, or is this normal. Using Vegas 6.”
It’s normal for Windows. You can have multiple audio devices on the bus, but windows will only allow you to use one. You can’t have one for input and one for output *at the same time*, which is what you need to do if you are recording on the M-Audio box and want playback from the internal audio device.

You didn’t include the timeline info so there’s some missing information. Do you have Quantize to Frames turned on?

Yes, you can do it with end-action at the end of the longer media to start the 3-minute end media, but most (all?) DVD players will pause momentarily while the player finds and buffers the new media.
