I paid hundrets of $ forVegas + DVD and after installing DVD Architect, I got startup error message about not enough memory and resources. I have 2.8G Pentium 4 Hyp.Thr. processor, 1G memory (over 750MB available). Searching thru this forum I found that this problem is around for almost a year. Loks like SONY DO NOt CARE. If I have to, I will suit them. I sent question to tech.support today. I think this is RIPPPPPPPPOFFFFF!!!

Whatever the problem really is, it's nothing to do with memory or resources.
I can run Vegas and DVDA on a PIII 450 with 256Mb ram without problems.

Something must have gone wrong during installation, or maybe you have other software that is causing conflicts.

Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling?

Hang in there - this software is worth waiting for ....

Then why didn't you post the link to the thread(s) where this specific problem is addressed? Because AFAIK, no one else has this problem, now or in the past.

Uninstall everything Vegas related, reinstall, see what happens. The problem is in your system, not in DVDA.

Is this a computer you built yourself? This sounds like one of the following: mismatched memory chips (all memory sticks ideally should be identical); overclocked or incorrectly clocked CPU; poor cooling.

The first two in particular can cause problems that only show up in some applications. You computer may work fine with applications that don't need lots of memory, or don't stress the CPU, but then fail with applications that "spread out" more.

If you have multiple memory chips (from different manufacturers, or different sources), you could try taking out all but one and see if the problem goes away. I have had this problem many times in the past (not with Vegas, but with other applications) and have solved it this way.

I am currently running Vegas+DVD on three machines. Two 1 gig AMD Prrocessors running under windows 98 and one 2 gig P4. All three have 512 memory and aproximatly 250 gig harddrive. I have not had a single problem in over two years with Vegas or DVD Architect. I have never had a crash or burned a coaster. I had one problem with MPEG preview and tech support responded within a day. I changed file mode on hard drives and all was well. Before you condemn Vegas+DVD, you should do a complete reinstall and do some checking on your system setup. I expect if you do that you will come back with a solution and a retraction.
