Crash on startup

Vegas 6.0d crashes on startup for me. The main windows sort of half-appear, and the program just stalls there.

The Vegas60.log file entry for today is below.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

SOLVED it.

I renamed the two XML files in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony\Media Manager\ and the program now starts properly. They must've been corrupted somehow.
