audio waveforms

when i put a clip on the timeline, i get an error message telling me i don't have read permissions to a file/folder, and then i don't get the waves on audio to show up. i am using windows xp, vegas 4.0. i just installed vegas on my new pc. does file size have anything to do with this? my file sizes are 7 gig, approx 1 hour. i shot some video at a church, and used two cameras. it was approx 1 hour long, each file.

there is no problem editing this, or rendering files. just the waves don't show.

any thoughts?

Is the file read only? do you have permissions to write to the folder you're using (try rendering to the same folder as the source).

i checked the folder it was in, and it was read only. i changed that, but still got the error message. i will check the file to see if it is read only. i did render a small portion of the file, and it was fine, along with showing the audio waveforms when it was done. (i pulled it into vegas to check)

What group is your user account in? If it's not an administrator group, try changeing the group to that & see if it works.
