Both build 203 and 223 have this problem. When you exit the program, it remains running in task manager. If I open and close it three times, I will have three instances still running, each taking up approx 25% cpu. I've just seen another post describing 'low memory error', I'm assuming that they have the same memory leak problem.

Yes a similar situation occasionally happens to me when I try to open VMS, having previously had it open earlier. It hangs on one of the start up screens so I have to go into Task Manager to end the existing process. The problem has been around for a while and isn't new, at least to me, in just the recent builds.
Vegas Movie Studio is now a "retired" product so don't expect any further development work on it. We will just have to live with the problem. A minor irritation, not a disaster.
I suggested way back to run VMS thru bat file that will kill the process
This is mine,
start /high MovieStudioPlatinum160.exe TITLE Movie Studio Platinum pause TASKKILL /IM MovieStudioPlatinum160.exe /F
- Edit that in notepad to VMS17,
-Save as .bat file in VMS17 folder
-Shortcut it to desktop.
-Use it.
Thank you FeyFen, I shall copy that and give it a try.
Eric, it's minor now I know whats happening, but given that the new 'version' is a completely different product and that many people probably won't switch to it, I do think they ought to make this one final fix. It's bad programming to have a leak like this, and we shouldn't have to use a bodge to get around it. I don't hold up any hopes, though.
Thank you all for helping.
