Audio/Video problem after upgrading to Windows XP

I just upgraded my OS from Win 2000 to XP Pro and have encountered a very strange problem in Vegas 4.0.

I opened a project that I was working on (originally edited on Vegas running under Win 2000) and noticed now that the audio sounds broken and stuttering and and the video plays back (in preview mode) almost in slow motion.

Can anybody tell me what's up?? I've reinstalled Vegas, but the problem hasn't gone away. For reference, I'm running on a Compaq with a 1.1 Ghz processor and over a GB of RAM.

Everything was working fine under Win 2000, but now it isn't. I'm halfway thru a project and need to get this fixed. Is it a codec issue? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

thanks!
Guy

What audio hardware are you using?
Are you using ASIO or Wave Classic Drivers?

In my experience, I've found that (natively) XP has a bit more overhead than Win2K. It sounds like you may be experiencing the same thing. Do some optimizations, and your performance should improve. Do a search on the web, and you'll find several sites that can help you get XP to perform better for audio.

The audio HW I'm using is the built-in capability on my Compaq; I'm not sure about the particulars. Where would I check for this? Which is the preferred driver?
