"An error occurred while starting playback"

Sometimes if I minimize Vegas, then come back to it, it tells me "An error occurred while
starting playback", and it won't play until I restart my computer.

I'm using Vegas 7.0e on Windows XP SP3, with a Digital Labs CardDeluxe sound card, using the ASIO driver.

Any clues on how to fix this?

Thanks

I think I recall reading that Vegas dumps the file from cache when minimized to save memory. Maybe you just need to wait a minute after restoring the window before playing it. (Just a guess).

What does the "Details" tab say about the error? When I get that it is usually connected to my soundcard output settings being assigned to another program that is open.

In your general preferences uncheck "close media files when not the active application"

You may also try unchecking:

"Close audio and MIDI ports when not the active application"
