Well it all started when my extra hard drive crashed. It used to be known as drive D: and had nothing but mp3's on it. no big deal). Now my A/V drive (formerly known as E:) is now D. the problem is Vegas is starting to act up. I want to either re-install or repair some files but it won't let me. It comes up with an error saying:

Error 1327; Invalid Drive E:
How can i get around this so i can un-install and re-install/repair vegas?
Also, When ever i click on the Chroma Keyer on the video FX tab and it ends up crashing vegas w/ the following message:

I can't render or accept mpeg 1/2 files or Windows media files. Is there something i have to do to the bios? Can i just delete the vegas folder and go into the registry and delete those files there and then try to re-install? I'm afraid to do that actually because I can still do work in Vegas except for those few things mentioned above. Can anyone offer me any solution to this annoying problem?

I had the same situation when drive letters changed and I was unable to get it back to what it was (I forget the exact circumstances). I tried a variety of different things installing/uninstalling/registry editing. Nothing worked (it always looked back at the older settings). It was deeply entrenched in the registry.

I ended up reinstalling the OS (which I do occasionally anyway).

If you are using NT or XP you can try changing the drive letter back to what it was.

Grrrr... Well, i hope to get another hard drive in the near future, hopefully that will set everything straight. I have win 98se so i can't do any of those little XP tricks.

Here's something you could do to make your video drive back into the E drive. First, you need to partition your C drive into two sections. You can do this very easily with a program like PartitionMagic. The second partition can be very small, just large enough for Windows to assign a drive letter to it.

The problem with creating an extra partition is that Windows will see the drives and call your Windows partition C, the video drive D, and the new partition (on the first drive) E. To fix this, use PartitionMagic again to change your video drive. Tell it to make it a "logical" drive, not the "primary" drive it is now. The next time Windows reboots, it will see the C drive, call the new partition D, and the second drive (your video drive) E.
