Good day to you all. I've tried the information in the two links below. The program I am having the issue with is "Sony Vegas 10 Movie Studio HD Platinum Production Suite".

The only part I did not follow was: "Also, remove the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (SONY_MEDIAMGR), any and all Microsoft .NET Framework versions, and the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable software if it is listed."
I did not see SQL installed and did not uninstall the VC++ or .NET versions.
The problem I'm having is that it was working fine before. Everything was fine. I even did a system backup with the working installation and reverted to that drive image and still nothing. I have no idea what is going on in this case. I've found that a full format/reinstall will fix the issue, but this is not a permanent fix.
Please note that this issue is with WindowsXP and not with Windows7 - I can't recall having this issue with Windows7. I am not going back to Windows7 due to driver issues with some devices that I have to use.
Just to be clear - the program suddenly decided to not start. It was working before. It will work if I do a full format, but a system restore with a previous drive image does not seem to work. Doing a somewhat clean uninstall does not help (delete all folders and registry entries).
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
