Media Manager initialization failed.

Got Sony SQL to load by simply disabling Norton for the installation.

Got a message on reboot that Sony Media Manager was starting.

Open V6 and get an error msg "Media Manager initialization failed."

Any ideas, please. Only been two day on this. Darrrrrryl

Find your error log file (vegas60.log). Here'e my repeating entry:

No reply yet from Support. I'm still researching the phrase "The directory for template media libraries does not exist:" I think I saw some reference to this in a previous thread, but haven't nailed any specifics down yet.
