I'm having similar problems with the 9.0d 64-bit ... things like:

When first loaded, project appears to be locked up for a minute of so before I can used the scroll wheel to zoom in/out.

As OP commented, sometimes when I make a zoom, it is unresponsive for a minute or so.

After a project has been loaded for several minutes, the problem is less.

I just tried 9.0d 32-bit, and the same behavior exists.

I am in the process of considering "restoring" back to 9.0c.

I am running Windows 7, 64-bit.

Don't know about HomeStarKevin, but my project is very simple ... nothing that should cause any problems.

I uninstalled 9.0d and reinstalled 9.0c, and all is well (or at least back to like it was before).

Someone needs to get on this one and figure out what's up.

Indeed something terribly wrong with 9.0d
Slow load , crashes , half minutes lock-up when scrolling in time-line , slow load fx ( of sony ) ....
Even on my Dual Xeon monster workstation.
Totally unacceptable , version d should have solved only the problems of version a,b,c ( often crashing etc... ).
Add new features is very nice ( thanks for these ) but let us first have a solid rocking version again at first ( like 4,5,6,7 were ).
Yesterday win7x64 decided to run vegas64 in compatibility mode since it crashed few times seriously ( with a veg I have been working on for more than a month with minor problems in version 9.0c )

I am running Vegas pro 9d with no problems. you can look up my specs by clicking on my name. Most if not all the problems you guys list, where brought out the first week after 9d's release. just look back a ways & find the solutions for most of your problems.

I will say this is the first time I've heard about the zoom in problem. Also be sure and go to the regular website and look up common questions (FAQ's) and fixes. what your looking for may already posted there.

Mostly people have problems from loading one update on top of another, or having cluttered computers with too many services on (despite having monster computers), registry errors, anti-virus software, or other incompatible software running. look and see, you may find a solution.

If all else fails write a support ticket back to Sony (go to tech svcs) they will usually get right back to you, especially if you include all the pertinent info, both system and software.

I have found nothing that specifically addresses or solves the issues I described.

My PC at work is brand new and has virtually nothing else installed, and it has the issues I described with 9d. When I rolled back to 9c, the issues disappeared.

If you can point me to the solutions you imply exist, please do. Thanks!

I suggest you try a couple things if you haven't already:

Remove all the Sony Software on your computer by uninstalling it. Then clean out the registry entries.(If you don't know how to do this there are instructions on the web site.I think they are in the FAQ section).

turn off all unnecessary Windows processes in the task manager. (Again FAQ if you need instructions).

Load Vegas from the 9d update.Make sure it is the 9d update. this is critical.

Then, if Vegas is working, turn back on the Windows processes one at a time, while checking Vegas between each to make sure one of the processes isn't causing a conflict. If you find a conflict with a Win process you will have to fill out a support ticket explaining what the problem is, what you did, and how you found the problem. Sony will send you a patch if they can recreate it.

If this process doesn't work to fix your problem, fill out a support ticket, again explaining the problem, what you did about it, and as detailed specs as you can. they may ask you to run a report and send you instructions on how to do it.

Hopefully they will figure it out for you. As I said in my earlier post I've not yet heard anything about the zoom problem, but many problems were solved using the above procedures.

Hmmm ...

So 9c DOESN'T have these problems and, on the same brand new machine with the same processes/software running, 9d DOES have these problems. And I am supposed to assume that the problems are caused by something OTHER THAN 9d and go through an elaborate process to figure out what OTHER THAN 9d is causing these problems.

Does that really make sense to you? It doesn't to me.

The variable in the situation is 9d, not something else.

By the way, I see the same issues on my home PC running Vista 64 and on my brand new work PC running Windows 7 64.

And I am supposed to assume that the problems are caused by something OTHER THAN 9d

This is one of those frustrating situations where, from the way you are describing it, it's obvious that 9D has a problem that 9C does not on your system! .. It's the same system so why doesn't 9D run as 9C does. The killer is that everyone is not having the same issue. So, for example, on my system 9D runs better than 9C. I'm far from alone in that situation. How can both situations be true? .. This is quantum mechanics logic where the world of cause and effect gets turned on its head. Even Einstein found it difficult to accept -- but -- reality is that both situations above are true. So what are the possible solutions? You've already chosen one of them. Use 9C. Or if you have the time, curiosity and feel competent to do a step-by-step procedure as outlined so clearly by Will above, you may, with SCS support, discover what goes on. I know you are not alone -- and many, like you, are frustrated -- and on the surface it does look like there is some gremlin within 9D that is causing these systems to rebel -- but the fact is that WHAT it is has not be identified. Maybe you have a shot to help out in that search. -- My two cents.

I like solving a good mystery as much as the next guy, but I also like getting my work done, and I have many hours of video waiting to be processed and edited.

Solving the mystery of why 9d causes problems for some ... maybe many ... users really should be Sony's task, don't you think.

For me, there are no "burning issues" driving me off of 9c ... at least not yet.
