Vegas interupts during loading

Hi!
My Vegas 13 is great once open but I have a strange little problem. When I start up Vegas the program-opening window comes up, where it shows the process but it always gets stuck on "creating I/O" and it just doesn't continue to open. I can wait forever and nothing happens. However, as soon as I click on something else, be it the desktop or some other open application, Vegas immediately continues to open and in a few seconds it is complete. Strange!
Not a big problem, but it sure is strange.
Once open it runs perfectly.

Does anyone else get the same interuption at opening Vegas?

The 'opening window' is called a splash screen.

This may help....

Check if you have the FileIOSurrogate process left running in memory. This can prevent a new instance of the program from starting up.
Exit Vegas then open the Task Manager, and look in the Processes Tag. Sort the list by Name. If you see FileIOSurrogate running, right-click and tell Task Manager to Kill the process. After that, the program should start up normally and relaunch a new copy of FileIOSurrogate.

There should be no fileIOSurrogate process running if Vegas is not. There should be only one instance of FileIOSurrogate running for each instance of Vegas (Vegas120.exe in the process list). You may need to refresh the task manager window to make sure.

Hi Steve and thanks for your suggestions.
I fired up VEgas this morning and checked the Task Manager meanwhile. There was no FileIOSurrogate running Before, and Vegas started actually without interuption. During startup the FileIOSurrogate came up, as it should. Then I quit Vegas, the FileIOSurrogate disappeared, and I started VEgas again. Even this time there was no interuption and the FileIOSurrogate came up in the Task manager.
So I wasn't able to recreate the problem this morning. Let's see in the future. I'll keep an eye on the FileIOSurrogate.
cheers
