I have Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.179.  It came with my Dell desktop, when I got it, over 10 years ago, and I didn’t even know it was there, until a couple of months ago.  I started a project back in February, involving about 100 or so short clips, that, when completed (IF I ever complete it) should run 10-12 minutes.  I was maybe 2/3 done with it, when the program began to do weird stuff.  For instance, it wouldn’t let me add a clip, or delete one, and then just freeze up.  I would get that window asking me to describe the problem (Which I did, many times), and then send it, or don’t send it.  After some thought, I uninstalled the program, then re-installed it, using the original disc that came with the computer.  It was OK for a while, but was soon doing the same thing again.  So, I uninstalled/re-installed a 2nd time, then a 3rd.  It would work fine for a while, then mess up again, and each time, I would have to start my project over, from scratch.  Today, I re-installed it for the 4th time, and this time, it locked up almost immediately.  Why is it doing this?  Has it happened to anyone else?  Am I doing something wrong?  Is there something I missed?  Is there maybe a ‘patch’ somewhere, to correct this?  This has become a very frustrating situation, and I can’t afford to upgrade, right now.  Any help would be appreciated.
