I don’t think there is any such preset, but there’s no harm in allowing the markers.

This may be way off the problem, but ntdll.dll is a collection of “subroutines” that just about every Windows program calls. Here’s a couple of things you can try – short of reinstalling Windows.
Uninstall your browsers.
I recall that you are using nVidia, so use the free program ShellExView to turn off nvidia.cpl

If a program freezes up and the screen goes “gray”, often followed by a message like: “Program has stopped responding”.
OK, why has it stopped responding? The usual suspect is that a process required by the program has itself stopped or failed.
You can use the Windows Resource Monitor to try to determine what process has caused the problem.
Go to Start, Run, and enter resmon
In the Overview tab, look for the program in the image column.
Right-click on the program image name and select “Analyze Wait Chain”
If a process is the problem, you can try to simply end the process. More often than not (in my experience) this usually fixes the immediate problem and the program can continue running. Back up your work and Google the offending process to see if there may be a fix. (It’s a long shot, though.)Steve Mann

I am running CAT5 here, but to your point about the NAS being slow, using a PC as a server would be slower. I don’t edit from the server, but I could. I just use it to exchange projects between PC’s.
If you aren’t working on the same project at the same time, just use an external USB drive and a batch file I wrote that makes it look like drive B, so the veg files are interchangeable.

Ross – If you use one of the PC’s as a file server for the net, you will compromise its performance. We use an NAS box here, a NexStar NAS Adapter ($50 at NewEgg). You just plug one end into an external USB disk, and the other into your router.
I have mine mapped to Drive “Z” on all my computers, so you can both work on the same project without Vegas always asking where is the media.

"waiting for a fixed vegas pro 13 or 14!!"This is why I no longer get into helping people fix their PC’s. I am already sorry that I answered the OP’s question. Rather than fix their PC, some just blame Vegas and expect the next release of the program to somehow fix their computer.
Going quiet again.

Sounds like a codec problem. WMP, Quicktime Player and VLC use their own Codecs, but Vegas and most other professional editing programs use the codecs installed by Windows. (Codecs used to view videos are freely available from the codec patent owners. Codecs to encode video come with royalty payments.) Sony has licensed or outright own some of the most common codecs that are installed by Vegas.
Here is a utility that will examine your video file and tell you what codec was used to create the video:
WARNING – NEVER, ever install a codec pack. These are made for gamers for best player performance and often replace the otherwise good quality codecs installed by Vegas with ones really inferior for encoding video.

Only the .veg file?? Who owns the file? If you are running Vegas as a non-admin user then saving the project as that user makes the files only accessible by that user.
Look in C:/users/’username’/My Documents for your veg file and share that.

I thought that you might be onto something that could be a time-saver so I tried encoding a muxed MPEG (audio/video) with a two-hour stage video. At the end, the audio and video were three frames off. I didn’t look at the encoded video on a scope because the loss of sync is a deal killer for me.

Q
OK, long answer: The Q key toggles the loop region.
