Folks,
I primarily use a Dell desk-top, 2GHz, 1 Gig RAM, 120Gig (7200rpm) HD for running Vegas 5, Sonar 2, and several other apps. Since dumping the bundled rip-off VideoWave NLE (puke....!) and buying Vegas Video 3 and more recently buying/installing Vegas 5, I've never had any trouble with any of the major software applications. Vegas, especially, has been a revelation--I use it all the time and would never, never give it up!
I just installed another very cool application called ASAP (no........, not as in "I'm A SAP"...it's All Sports Analysis Program: Basically, it can capture video, de-interlace for slo-mo, has interesting drawing tools for studying anatomical angles during a rapid sports event like bat swing, pitch motion, or golf swing). However....trouble!! I can open the new application and do a very limited few things; however, I cannot use the Video Capture function or even import old .avi files for analysis without the program crashing--it simply tells me it must close and then makes good on the threat. I have deleted and re-installed the software a few times to no avail.
The ASAP software developer is a really helpful guy and very knowledgeable--he's answered every e-mail promptly with lots of good suggestions but he hasn't encountered this specific problem before. His latest suggestion was, try ASAP on another computer that doesn't have Vegas loaded. I did this--actually deleted good old Vegas Video 3 from my laptop (where it didn't run very well anyway due to a snail-like HP hard drive) and loaded ASAP.
Long story short--this worked. ASAP opens and I can access every function without crashing it. However, I've got to get ASAP running correctly on the desk-top in order to find true happiness in life--the laptop solution just won't work for a variety of reasons.
What I'm hoping to learn from this post is: (1) Is there anything obvious to any of you folks that would make two different NLEs like Vegas and ASAP incompatible (it's strange because I certainly haven't noticed any reciprocal problems with Vegas since ASAP has been loaded, and I never have both apps open at the same time) (2) Whether the answer is obvious or not, is there anything that I can try in order to solve the problem on the desk-top computer?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and help out.
Best regards,
Lee
