Vegas Movie Studio 17 Platinum - really slow performance

I have been trying to get this program to work for a year. I have VMS 16 running fine .It never crashes and performance is fine now matter what I throw at it. At the moment I am running a trial copy of Vegas Pro 18 as well, which also works fine. I am planning to upgrade, but it frustrates me that I cannot get this program to work.

I thought that VMS 17 and Vegas Pro 18 shared much of the same internal code, so I copied my settings from VP18 to VMS17, and hoped that it now would work.Didnt happen.

The settings of my VMS 17 is more or less the same as in the other programs. I have also deleted the cache of the program several times, with no changes. When I start and run VMS 17 the rendering of the programs window is very slow. For instance the startup is not anything like the other programs. If I drag and resize the preview window (or any other window/panel) it takes forever to get into the new position. Everything is very slow.

It also crashes when I try the 'render as' window. During timeline playback the preview is more or less frozen, while audio plays and the timeline moves. Does VMS 17 have other windows requirements compared to VMS 16 and VP18? This seems to be a windows issue. Any suggestions? I have tried most of the normal suggestions.

The PC is rather old with intel 4000 integrated graphics and 16 gb ram, but that is my problem. As said, the other Vegas problems works fine.

I have reinstalled the program several times, I have deleted the cache using chtrl-shift, used default settings, dynamic memory to zero, with and without gpu optimizing etc.

i was thinking it might be a windows thing, so I installed .net version 3.5 as well.

But now I am out of ideas. The strange thing is that vms16 and vp18 is working fine, more or less out of the box, while vms17 is like syrup.
