Problem will not allow Vegas to Open

I have had Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8.0 for over a year now and recently, within the last few months it will not open. I have tried everything from fragmenting my hard drive to installing it again after uninstalling it. When I go to open the program it says that a problem has occured that will not allow the program to continue running. When it says this it is always on the initiating phase of "creating file I/O manager" - not sure if that helps. I wasn't worrying about it too much when it first occured but of course now that I really need it I can't seem to fix the problem. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate them!! Thanks!

Try this: hold SHIFT+CTRL while launching the program. This will reset the program to factory settings. (Not sure it will work, though)

Try this perhaps:
1. Uninstall ACID Pro or Vegas
2. Uninstall Sony Media Manager
3. Uninstall Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (SONY_MEDIAMGR)
4. Uninstall Sony Sound Series Loops and Samples Reference Library if installed.
5. Completely delete the Media Manager directory.
Normally this is C:\Program Files\Sony\Shared Plug-Ins\Media Manager.
6. Reboot the computer
7. Close any applications running in the background. Make sure to disable any anti-virus, spyware, or other security related software, as it may interfere with the installation. For items located in your System Tray (in the bottom right corner of your screen), right click on their icons and choose to Exit, Close, or Disable.
8. Run the ACID or Vegas installer.

Ivan123,

Small tip: in the FAQ urls, you can delete everything after the p_faqid=XXXX starting with the &p_created... etc. That's session information and isn't needed to reach the page.

Or follow the example in the New Markup for Forum Posts sticky thread to replace the url with text. :)
