Seems Vegas "poles" the detection of key press Ctrl-Shift , when Vegas is launching . Thus sometimes Vegas "Misses" the key press . I reset rarely , but it works best to repeatedly press : Ctrl-Shift , let go , Ctrl-Shift , let go , Ctrl-Shift let go , maybe up to 5 times , until the reset Message Box appears . If Vegas Splash screen appears , then nothing happened . Close Vegas and try again .
That's pretty much a Windows quirk, which can be annoying if you're in a hurry.
Happens a lot in Photoshop, also.
While holding Ctrl, add Shift, then click Whatever. Works reliably on my keyboard.
Left click once the shortcut to highlight, then 'Ctrl+Shift' + double left click, works every time for me.
I have uninstalled and clean installed 10 times. I have tried all of the tricks and what happens is, it works perfect for like two days. I don't even turn the computer off and re-launch and it sticks on Creating Windows and then crashes with the exact same list as in the original message. This is ridiculous.
Uninstalling and reinstalling is not the same as resetting the software to default settings. Please start a new thread for your issue.
