Vegas Studio 10 Stalls When Loading Kontakt 5 dll

Strange how, after successfully using this software for over a year now, that I have run into a problem such as this that completely prohibits me from running Studio at all.

I recently- days ago- installed Komplete 8 and its 10 discs of content onto 2 drives, the program applications on the OS drive, Kontakt 5 content libraries on the external 7200 rpm ESATA drive. Everything works great until I one day try to run Vegas to do my video editing of Easter Sunday church services. And when Vegas begins to install Kontakt dll's, no problem with Kontakt 16out dll, but always stops and hangs on Kontakt 8out dll without fail, needing to be discontinued then with the Task Manager to discontinue the program that is now stalled trying to load this dll.

These are, of course, audio dll's.

Help! I need to use Vegas to do my editing. I like to use Vegas because I have multiple cameras and appreciate the way it works and the workflow.

Can anyone help me out, here. I have the latest build of Vegas Platinum 10 [179] and plenty of computer resources. i7 quad core, 6 gigs of ram. I had no problems until days ago when Vegas was first trying to load these audio plugin dlls.

Thanks in advance for your help! I do music and video production. This is my first visit to the forum.

Some audio and instrument plugins have this effect, I temporarily removed the .dll of the offending plugins and then when Vegas was up and running pointed the program preferences at an empty folder I called "sony plugins" instead of the default "vst plugins", Vegas now loads without problems.

Thanks for your response. This is the first time I've seen Vegas reject any of my audio plugins. I was hoping to find a work-around solution such as you mentioned. I found that only 2 dlls were causing problems and moved only the two offensive files into separate VST folders, and will now point my DAWs to these as well, so that I may use them there, and still retain a host of helpful audio effects plugs in my original folders for use in Vegas! The best of both worlds. Thank you, again, crofter, for kindly sharing your experience.
