Preview and render 'hangs' - Vegas 8.0c

I'm trying my luck here, so it could be a 'known' issue, but I am getting hangs when previewing and rendering in 8.0c on Windows 7.

This is a new build machine, I upgraded to Win7 for other reasons and hoped 8.0c would work [there is little in 9.0 for me]...

What happens is at random the preview or render will hang for several seconds, however it generally recovers and continues.

While hung I see a series of dots [......] 'cycling' next to the Frame indicator in the video preview window... Any idea what this means?

I'm kind of hoping this is a configuration issue that can be resolved.. I would much rather not have to fork out for the upgrade..

Any help appreciated..

Hmm .. well I set Vegas to run in compatibility mode for Vista SP2 and the problem has not occured since...

I mangaged to render 45 minutes of PAL DV SD without a problem...

The interesting thing is this problem sounded VERY similar to the issues other users have been having with 9.0c on Win7 ..
