Is vv3 ultra sensitive to crashes?

I thought I had resovled my previous problem with Vegas freezing up my computer and/or giving me the "aviplug.dll" error. (http://www.sonicfoundry.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?MessageID=100784&Replies=3&Page=1)

I actually think I may have solved the computer freeze up problem by going into the BIOS and giving the processor more voltage and changing RAM shadowing parameters.

However, I got the "aviplug.dll" error again today, but this time it happened after my computer lost power while I was using Vegas. After rebooting and starting up Vegas the "aviplug.dll" error appeared. I uninstalled Vegas, then reinstalled to fix this. My question is: Is Vegas super sensitive to crashes like that? Does this easily corrupt that dll, which seems to be the guts of the application?

This would make me feel better knowing that it is not Vegas' fault, but rather the loss of power that corrupted the dll.

I was able to use Vegas for a pretty long time without any problems after "fixing" my BIOS to avoid system freezes . It seems that whenever Vegas is unexpectedly shutdown (power loss, etc.) the aivplug.dll instantly gets corrputed. Is this true?

Thanks for any help!

This is typical on Microsoft Operating Systems when the system crashes (Powers off prior to a shutdown, or locks up). Not the fault of VV, it just happened to be the program you had open at the time. You did the right thing by reloading the software.

What do you mean by giving the processor more voltage???? Do you mean the clock setting? Typically, if you change the clock setting to something higher than what the CPU is rated at, you will overheat the CPU and cause crashes.

temperature can be monitored and extra cooling can be implemented to avoid overheating. increasing the voltage is sometimes necessary when operating the CPU at higher clock speeds to *avoid* system stability problems.
