Vegas Pro 8 odd behavior in Windows 7 64-bit

Sorry I haven't been around in so long. Miss the community.

Been using Vegas Pro 8.0c in XP Po for a long time. Recently installed it on a Windows 7 Professional computer 64-bit. It installed fine, but I am getting odd lines between events on the timeline. If I take the same files in my Windows XP Pro installation they appear normal. It doesn't matter whether I enable automatic crossfades or not. These little "hooks" still appear between events. Here is a screenshot.

Anyone seen this?

Thanks,

John

Tried everything in the suggestions. .Net Framework wouldn't install by itself because it is already part of 3.5 which installs with windows 7.

Starting Vegas (as administrator or other) when "creating file I/O Manager" at the beginning APPCRASH "Sony Vegas Pro has stopped working", etc. Fault Module StackHash_444b Whereas the program installed but didn't work properly before, it now wouldn't install at all.

Looked up the error message. Microsoft says it is a Data Execution Prevention message. DEP prevented the program from starting. Went to Computer / Properties / Advanced System Settings / Performance / Settings / Data Execution Prevention / Highlighted "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select" Added the Sony Vegas Pro .exe file and now the program starts.

Success. Thanks for all the help. I'll see if the funny looking event borders have returned.

EDIT: As per suggestion by Nick started program using "Run program as administrator". Loaded a 90 minute project and all the odd event border anomalies are GONE. Normal separation. Start normally and all of the cut off separation lines I referenced at the start of this thread Re-appear??? Start as administrator and they are gone. Perhaps JJKizzak was right, the blue 'hooks' are overlapped frames that got there because???, and disappear when you run as administrator because????

Followed this link Nick provided to permanently start Vegas as administrator:

Mind you, before I uninstalled the installation I was having trouble with in the Original Post to try all these suggestions I started the program using Run As Administrator and it had NO effect at all. No change. But now after all the suggestions and new installation it works, but only if I Run As Administrator.

I wish I knew exactly why so I could tag it as a solution for others finding this thread. But I have no idea.

However, making a DEP exception for Vegas Pro did in fact work for startup crashes anyway.

I have no idea how to flag this thread as "Resolved". If I click on "Tag As Solution" it sends me to the first post. Does anyone understand Magix speak?
