Try to give more info about what you're doing when this happens, and exactly WHAT happens. Vegas is choking isn't much to go on. I could always suggest you check for a chicken bone in the CD-Rom, but I doubt that's it. :)
Do you have any programs running in the background? Anti-Virus active? Outlook Express set to check for e-mails every 5 minutes? That sort of thing.

well ok. lemme see. i made an animation in flash, exported it a a jpeg sequence, time stretched a bit to make it go slower, crossfaded with an ivi clip. it was bad, the audio sounded like it was being put through a blender and taken apart BIT by BIT (pun intended). anyhow, i just crossfade 2 video clips and this happens. i am so disappointed. my computer is new and im thinking it might be the hardware? or some software comfiguration that i have yet to fix. besides what's weird is when i export the jpeg sequence the timing is totally off ... as in the original animation would have 12 fps, in vegas it would amount to 1 frame per second. quite absurd.

All components on this machine are brand new..? the western dig HD is how big, and how long have you had it..? what kind and how much mem...?

First, make sure all the video and audio drivers are fully updated to the most current version. Second, turn OFF hardware acceleration on the video card. Does this help?

Hi Hazel,

It might be helpful to know your operating system and if the 7200 drive is also the system drive.

Video apps work best if the media drive is separate... some folks can use the system drive, but they are unreliable for smooth operation.

Watch for shared IRQs and the like, and a good capture card (ADS, SIIG, Unibrain)is a must.
