I keep getting this exception on startup of the Vegas 8. Doesn't happen the second time I launch. I think its in Media Manager...

System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

On a successful launch, go to Preferences and turn off Media manager. Then see if this error happens on launch.
Could be an installation problem that a re-install may fix.
Otherwise suggest you open a ticket with Sony support.

Do you have any Anti Virus scanning working at the same time you open Vegas? - G

I already put in a similar support ticket and got the following reply you may want to try if all else fails.
