Text Media Generators presets crash

Using movie studio HD 11.0 build 37 on 64-bit Windows 7.

I have a custom saved text media preset that worked up to build 35, but since I updated from build 35 to build 37, I can not do any of the following without it crashing:

* Open a project that uses this preset.
* In blank project or any project, "Insert Text Media" and select that particular preset (I need to select it to delete it). It crashes Vegas as soon as it is selected.
* In blank project or any project, go to media generators tab, then choose "Titles & Text". This shows previews of all presets which crashes Vegas.

I can't find any registry entry or file that contains this custom added preset. So the only way I can think of to fix it is to reinstall build 35 if I can find a copy, delete the offending preset, open my project file that has this text effect in it, delete each instance of this text effect, save, then reinstall build 37 and hope I removed every instance that crashes it.

Or what file can I delete or edit that contains custom presets? Somewhere in %appdata% or C:\ProgramData perhaps?

An update:
I was able to recover my project file to make it usable in build 37.

I found the 3 most recent released builds at http://download.sonymediasoftware.com/current/
On a separate computer that also had build 37, opened that project file and it crashed it too. On this 2nd computer I uninstalled Vegas then I installed build 35, opened my project file successfully, went to each text media effect and unchecked "Shadow Enable" which apparently is the effect that crashes Vegas because it now opens and even renders in the computer with build 37.
Now I need to figure how to delete the offending custom preset.
