Vegas crashes everytime I hit record

I am very new to this recording thing. In the past month I've purchased a Dell 410 550 Mhz Pentium 3 server w/512 Meg of Ram, Mackie 1604 VLZ, Mackie Powered Monitors, Presonus ACP 88, and an M-Audio Delta 1010, and a pair of Oktava MC012's. I'm so excited to be using my new gear, but I've hit a major bump in the road. The problem is with my Vegas Pro software that came with the Delta 1010.

Anytime that I try to load up a .wav file, wether it be by recording it or by finding it on the hard drive, and placing it on my track list the software crashes. Each and everytime I push the record button the program crashes.

It will allow me to preview .wav files on the hard drive but if I try to assign it to a track then the program crashes.

I've dealt with the Sonic Foundry tech guy and we have not had much success at fixing the problem. I downloaded it off the website and it still did the same thing.
Thanks

Brandon

The only thing you didn't mention is the version of Windows that you're using. Vegas Pro is only supported under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT. It has never been tested under Windows 2000 or ME. If you are using one of those versions of Windows, it could be a compatibility issue. Also make sure that you have the latest video card and sound card drivers installed. Please contact tech support if you continue to have problems.

If you're computer is crashing from doing the same thing over and over, then obviously those commands trigger the crash. This happens when I use vegas pro sometimes. The best thing to do is to disrupt the trigger by doing something as simple as saving right before you record. I found that this disabled the trigger an no further crashes occured.

Also make sure that you have the latest drivers installed for the Delta 1010.
