I am testing the trial version of the new Vegas to see how it works with a computer I have. I don't know if their are limitations in time or effects to the trial version, but the program crashes everytime at about 5 minutes into it being open. Any ideas? Is it a compatibility issue? is it the trial version? i have used Vegas since it first came to market and have never had an issue like this. These are the specs for the computer I am using on loan.

There's no inherent problem with the hardware you listed and VEGAS. I'd suggest it's something else- media type, a plugin, driver?

Feel free to see if you can use the known-good projects in my signature. If so it's something specific to what you are trying to do in VEGAS.

Is there any error message when it crashes we could see?

@RogerS

Thankyou for taking the time to answer. It's strange because I don't see any conflicts either. As I said, I have been with Vegas since 2000 and can usually find and fix just about any issue. This one has me stuck. I get "the wheel" right before it crashes and done. No warning, no error, just shuts down. To satisfy my curiosity, I put the same trail on a all-in- one HP factory stock old desktop, and a Dell Latitude convertable, no issues other than slowness( they lack in screen size and power ).

Try enabling hang detection - hold shift, go the options menu and at the bottom "internal" will appear. Click that, search for hang and change FALSE to TRUE. Maybe then you'll at least get an error message.
