Hi,

Just opened an old archieved project (just the source files moved onto an external hard drive by the Vegas own "save as" function). BANG -Vegas dies in the middle of the build.

Was this something that was recognized as a problem, and is there a solution? I am stuck with my project and cannot continue...

I'm on Vista 64 bit Ultimate, and all latest updates are loaded for everything essential.

Please, any good advice anyone ???

Below is a dump of the error detail:
