...locking up at UI...

Hello everyone,
a problem from a partner in another state using Vegas 8.0 causes hanging up after closing down the program and attempting a restart. . .
No problems occur during the closing of the program . . . or anything causing the shutdown... just a simple close to take a break to return later in the day. Then again, I'm not sure if the program is restarted immediately or after a short break. . .

"Now all I have to do is figure out why when I do shut it (Vegas 8.0) down and then restart the program, it will hang on "Setting UI" and will not go to creating the windows. I have to shut down the computer and then restart it again in order to open the program."
* * *
Any ideas what causes such a problem and solutions to get it running again after closing it?
Of course, the obvious solution is that Vegas is such a wonderful program, an owner should never close it down. . . (grin)

I'll get further details as required . . . if it will help.

Thanks for any hints and tips - until that time. . . Earl J.

At one time some people had issues with a 16 bit "twain" driver being loaded but not shut down when Vegas was exited. You then had to go into the task manager and shut down "win16" or something like that before Vegas would restart.

I used to have this problem when I had my cam hooked up via firewire and then tried to open Vegas. If I turned off the cam or unhooked the firewire cable it would load without issue.

You may want to try unhooking USB/Firewire periphials to see if that remedies the issue.
