Hello, I recently purchased an upgrade (14 to 19) and have run into some very strange issues while trying to use the software. When first starting the software, it immediately BSOD'd my device with "Bad_Pool_Caller". Alright, no sweat. Typically that's a driver problem.

Update all my drivers, reinstall Vegas (just in case!) and try again. Vegas actually starts this time, but upon using one of the Boris FX plugins for the first time it immediately crashes to desktop. Alright, that's fine too. I'm used to crashes. 14 would crash all the time until I got it set up properly (I'd have to remove any GPU acceleration/encoding which is fairly typical from what I've read). Upon restarting Vegas once more, it BSOD'd once again with "Bad_Pool_Caller". Which is... weird.

Restart, double-check all my drivers, we're up to date on everything.

Try starting Vegas again and I get "Error -59: There is no license to use this software". After some quick googling, the solution to this particular issue is to uninstall/reinstall Vegas. So I did. I also uninstalled all the extra plugins because I've read they can cause additional instability. Which SUCKS because they seem cool, but if I can just get Vegas working properly I'll be happy.

Uninstall all the plugins and extra stuff, reinstall ONLY Vegas. Run Vegas, it boots up just fine. Go into the preferences, remove EVERY POSSIBLE GPU RENDERING OPTION UNDER THE SUN to prevent further crashes (I had to do this in 14 as well and it worked great afterwards with 0 crashes ever since). Manually use File > Exit knowing that if it crashes again it may not save what I've just done in the preferences.

Go to open Vegas again... BSOD. Restart device, attempt opening Vegas, "Error -59: There is no license". Uninstall Vegas, Reinstall Vegas, works for 5 minutes, crashes because I hadn't changed the GPU rendering option yet. Attempt open again, BSOD again. Restart device "Error -59: There is no license".

So I'm stuck in this perpetual loop now of uninstalling/reinstalling Vegas due to a license loss problem. Oh, and also IT BSOD'S MY ENTIRE MACHINE EVERY TIME I OPEN IT FOR THE SECOND TIME. Never the first time though! It runs after reinstalling it manually, right up until either I manually exit the program or it crashes because of the damn GPU renderer that I can't turn off since that option requires a restart.

Just for clarity's sake, here's the loop:

- Install Vegas
- Run Vegas (It runs at this point)
- Close Vegas (either on my own or via crash)
- Run Vegas again
- BSOD ("Bad_Pool_Caller")
- Restart computer
- Attempt to run Vegas again
- Receive "Error -59: There is no license"
- Uninstall Vegas
(Loop back to beginning)

I've recreated this issue 4 times now with the BSOD happening every single time. I have already triple-checked every single one of my drivers (which are all up to date) and this BSOD has only ever occurred upon running Vegas a 2nd time, never from any other program and never under any other circumstances.

I'm NOT willing to reinstall Windows for this software if that ends up being a suggestion as I have no reason to believe outside of this software that could potentially be the issue. I am able to render GPU-heavy Blender scenes, run any recently released game I try and can render huge multitrack audio files in Reaper with massive amounts of plugins with 0 issues. I'm able to have my system under fairly heavy load pretty consistently with no issues and have never experienced a BSOD on this build until now.

Any help would surely be appreciated as I'd really like to be able to use the software proper.

This is Vegas 19 v458 with no additional plugins running on Windows 10 21H2.
I have an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x @3.59GHz with 32MB of RAM and a NVIDIA 1070TI, hopefully some of this information helps.
