I installed version 8.0c yesterday. It was a new install. I am unable to run it. During the start on the splash screen, it says: Initializing audio engine..... Then it pops up VegasMovieStudioPE80.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. I sent a report to tech support. I'm hoping to get help in the forums also. Error signature:
AppName: vegasmoviestudiope80.exe AppVer: 8.0.0.136 ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.3119 Offset: 00012a5b
Thanks for any help

It might help if you install the latest version of Quicktime Player. Vegas relies on some of its libraries.

Hi

I would like to share my experience with all those who have problems with Sony Vegas at startup. Firstly I would like to say that I do not have much knowledge about computers. However, I purchased Sony Vegas Pro 8 and loaded it on my Desktop (XP) and Laptop (VISTA). I also purchased some transition and FX plug-ins. Once I loaded Sony Vegas and all my plug-ins and add-on’s, I found that my Sony Vegas freezes at start-up. To be exact, the moment Sony Vegas got to “initializing audio engine” it just did not wanted to go any further. No amount of uninstalling and re-installing solved the problem.

I then opted to re-format both my desktop and laptop and loaded Sony Vegas first. Each time I loaded another program, software, plug-in or add-on, I opened Sony Vegas to see if it opened completely. I then realized that when I loaded certain software, it made Sony Vegas freeze at “initializing audio engine”. What made it ironic was that it was fairly newly developed software.

I then decided to inform the developers of this software and told them about this problem. I was quite surprise when they informed me that they had this problem in the past and that they fixed it on the backend.
I was then informed to reinstall the eCommerce engine (updater windows ews.exe) of which they forwarded me the link. I loaded Sony Vegas first, then the eCommerce engine, and then all my plug-in and add-on’s.

I am glad to say that this has solved my problem completely on my Desktop (XP) and on my Laptop (VISTA). I hope this information will be of benefit to some of you as these Sony Vegas forums has always been of great help and benefit to me.

(I was not sure if I could use other software developer’s names on these forums, however, I am fully prepared to mail you the eCommerce engine – updater windows ews.exe link / file on request). If more information is required, do not hesitate to mail me immediately.

Regards

Lance
