Installed Vegas 13 on a new laptop but keeps saying "Registration of Vegas Pro 13.0 requires elevated privileges" I am the administrator on the system.
How can I get the program to open and start.
This was a problem for some with Sony Sound Forge Pro and the workaround involves editing the registry. The workaround for SoundForge Pro was:
- Open regedit
- Find the key named ''HKEY_USERS\XXXXXX-XXXX_Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sony Creative Software"
- Delete the key
- Close regedit
- Soundforge now works again
In that registry, I just deleted the SoundForge Pro sub-folder under the Sony Creative Software folder in order to get SFP up and running again. I presume that the same process would work for Sony Vegas Pro 13 but I cannot know for certain because the elevated privileges problem didn't occur for me with Sony Vegas Pro 13 back in the day.
Remember that when editing the registry, double/triple-check what you are doing because there is no Undo (Ctrl-Z) process in the registry, but you can export (save a backup to another folder) any registry folder before doing anything to that folder.
Once this happened to me with Sony Sound Forge Pro (10 & 11), the elevated priveleges problem recurred every 3 to 4 weeks so the registry edit had to be done again and again. The problem has not existed with Sound Forge Pro versions released by MAGIX (SFP 12 and later).
Thanks for the info but there is not entry in the Regedfit like that.

That's odd - it's been in Windows 8.1, 10 and 11 - and probably even back in 7. Here it is on my W11 computer:
All the Xs in the workaround indicate numerals which will be different computer to computer.
That is what pops up. But when I click on next the windows closes and nothing else happens.
There is an Win 10 Elevated Privilege issue with Sound Forge 10 that can be (temporarily) resolved with a simular registry tweak or a more permanent 'Run this program as an administrator' in 'Properties> Compatibility'. I do not recall reports of it outside of SF-10 (or once or twice in SF-11) . In any case, here is a link regarding that thread.
