An error occurred while loading the project file.

Hi, I was editing a video in VegasPro 20.0 and the program kept freezing at random intervals. I noticed I had a windows update and thought that may be the issue. So I saved my project and updated windows. However, now when I open the project I am greeted with "Warning: an error occurred while loading the project file _____.veg. A device does not exist." when you click details it says "The playback device  does not support the current output format.
The playback device  does not exist." closing out this error and attempting to interact with the project brings forth this error " An error occurred while starting playback. The request is not enabled for this device." I have worked very hard on this project and really do not want to lose it. Please help!

Sometimes this is a result of Windows and Vegas trying to use the same audio. Change your audio device in Vegas before loading your project.

Thank you! This fixed it, I changed it from Microsoft Sound Mapper to Direct sound Surround Mapper and now I can continue! You're a lifesaver!
