VEGAS Effects won't open after activating

RE: VEGAS Effects 1.2.9604.14401

I just managed to activate MAGIX Effects (as part of the VEGAS POST suite) and it closes immediately after attempting to open. I get the splash screen, and sometimes I get the window to open, but it immediately closes, with no error or crash prompt.

The result is the same whether or not I open the program directly, or I open it through VEGAS Pro 17 (Edit it VEGAS Effects).

I only recentlyu managed to open this thing, as it wasn't activating with VEGAS Pro (I had to de-activate and activate it again while in Administrator mode).

Are there any known issues with this happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sucks to have upgraded to a suite I can't use.

Did you first add some video to your timeline and then right click on the event and select "Edit in VEGAS Effects"?

I just installed the same updated version and did not have an issue.

Yes, as I mentioned in my initial post, I can't open Effects either directly or through "Edit in VEGAS Effects". Same result: splash screen, window opens, closes with no popups.

You did not mention in your initial post that you had some video on your timeline first.
