codex error, won't load project

When I try to open a project, this is the error I get:
An error occurred while loading the project file part one.veg
an error occurred while opening a codex

also, when I tried to open another project, I get that we can't find the file box, only this box doesn't have the open to search for the file. that is normally there which makes me think the software didn't install correctly. any suggestions are appreciated.

I reformatted my computer today because vegas pro 10 kept crashing each time I tried to do even the simplest thing. So, I reformatted. I have windows home edition 7, 64 bit, 4 gig memory intel 2.93 ghz. there is nothing on my computer but magic bullet trial, vegas pro 10 and dvd architect 5.2

You've lost a codec when you reinstalled.
Is Quicktime on your machine?

Use MediaInfo to post the complete file details of the media that will not load.

I had to reinstall quicktime and neoscene. Now Vegas crashes everytime I click on anything in the timeline. It's been crashing for 3 years. it was stable for a few months, then back to crashing again. I reformatted my computer today and reinstalled vegas. nope. crashes just like before. 3 freaking years I've been trying to finish my freakin movie. I hate vegas pro so very much. I'm trying to get the program to stay open long enough so I can write down the time codes for each clip and then recreate the timeline in platinum 10HD. I hate that my movie is hostage to bad software.

What format is your media?
4GB of RAM is the minimum for Vegas, I would upgrade this to 8GB or even 12GB, RAM is relatively cheap now.

what happens if you start a new project, does vegas crash?

already asked, what's on the tl?

what fx are you using?

no special filters or effects other than the color corrector that comes with vegas. I have the latest version downloaded yesterday.
Any new project I start crashes just like the other projects. 4 ram is as high as I can go with this machine. So far, I'm recreating the project in platinum. No crashes but when I render an mp4, my computer won't play it and says it doesn't recognize it. haven't checked to see if anyone else can view the mp4. I'm concentrating on recreating the project, clip by clip.
