That was one of the first things the Sony tech asked me to do, uninstall
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable along with every component of
anything related to Sony Creative Suite and reinstall the newest update of
Vegas first, but unfortunately it didn't help me. From he said, that is
*one* of the problems with the current version on Vista but it appears among
other things, it's can be driver issues, some associated with the (terrible)
Windows Media Center on "some" systems. There's also an issue with some of
the .dll files in the plug ins folder but again, there isn't any real
consistency to the problem on all pcs using Vista.

I'm just looking for people who've had similar problems and perhaps come up
with a fix I haven't tried yet.
