Do you have at least 20-30 gigabytes of free, clean, freshly defragmented space on your C drive?

If the program suddenly stops opening after working for months, it's often because there's so little space or so much fragmentation that it chokes the program.

There are other reasons: Conflicting software, corrupted files. But this is often the cause on laptops and computers more than a couple of years old.

@amos

Please fill out your system specs in your user profile.

It is unlikely that not having 20-30 gb of free, un fragmented disk space is causing this problem.

Try holding down CRL+SHIFT when you start Vegas. This will reset the internal preferences of Vegas.

But just for grins, let us know how much free, defragmented space you do have on your C drive. Just so we've got all the clues to solve this mystery.
