Vegas6 has caused problems capturing in Vegas 5!

I have Vegas 5 on my machine and it works fine. I download the trial and just rund a render test (10 seconds or so in length). I have never captured anything with the trial of Vegas 6. I go to load new video into my computer today using Vegas 5 and notice that the tape counters for tape position are not working at all and that the picture has some type of vertical wavey distortion to it. I stop and rewind the tape and try again. Still the same thing. I stop and rewind and figure it has something to do with Vegas 6 so I'll un-install it since I am not using it anyway. I shut down Vegas 5 and the capture, un-install Vegas 6, restart my computer and begin capture using Vegas 5. The capture looks correct and the counter is showing the current tape position as it is capturing. I figure the problem is fixed. WRONG! I go outside and mow the yard and when I come back in I have this windows message that says the computer has recovered from a serious error and that it needs to be reported to Microsoft. I go through this and get a message that it was some sort of device driver. Sony.....what is wrong and what do I need to do to get my computer working again with VEGAS 5? I'm not upgrading anything until these bugs are fixed!

Vegas 6 has caused my computer to become unstable since I un-installed it. When I try to capture using Vegas 5 it keeps crashing and giving me the blue screen of death. I just tried rolling back the drivers to before I downloaded the Vegas 6 trial and it is still doing it. HELP! I need to get back to editing ASAP!

To get you started...You should fill in your system specs.
It's been made clear that having that info helps the Sony reps a great deal when trying to help you.

Good idea Mario:

Asus P4C800E-Deluxe MB
Corsair XMS PC-4000 1gig
P4 3.0 OC'ed to a 3.6 and stable as a rock
Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 930SB Monitor
ATI 9600XT
VX2100
1394 Capture
Vegas 5.0d

I guess you're using XP so you might be able to roll back your whole system to a date prior to installation of V6. Found this most useful when I struck conflicts between Cineform bought and Cineform plugin to V6. The roll-back doesn't affect data files, as I expect you know already.

I ended up having to roll back last night in order to attempt capture because it just kept crashing. It never did that before only whne I tried capturing with Vegas 5 to start a new project. I was not about to start a new project with Vegas 6. The only reason I had Vegas 6 on my computer was to see the render increase and how great it was.

When I rolled back it still crashed and I got some error message about clientnet or something. I then followed the Microsoft instructions and had to adjust my video card settings? Today I'm going to the ATI site to see if the drivers need to be updated and I was able to capture that last tape last night but not until I went through many problems and panic first. Yes XP on my machine w/ SP2. When I went to shut down last night I got the clientnet something error message again so probably more problems today again!

This morning it was so bad that the computer just crashed sitting there with nothing going on. This has been another nightmare all because I wanted to see if the render performance was improved greatly like the 40% some were mentioning. I have been down all day, ended up having to re-install Windows so that the computer could boot. When it does boot now I get two sequencial error messages about CLI.exe did not load of which I can just check ok and then it will load into Windows and the desktop. Problem is that my computer wireless network card will no longer connect to the router? It worked fine yesterday night before I shut it down and now it will not even connect? This all started when I had troubles capturing yesterday on Vegas 5 while Vegas 6 was still loaded in my machine. So I un-installed Vegas 6 and and still had some problems. I'm so frustrated right now I just want to go back to ground zero and start over with this computer. I'm sorry I was ever curious about Vegas 6 and it's potential because things were running great for me with Vegas 5.

I have almost identical specs to yours... and have been capturing / editing / PTT with V5 and V6 without any of the issues you are experiencing.

If your system does not boot properly (after re-installing Windows)... I would think that is pointing to some other issue... not one related to installing V6.

Alright I finally have it back up and running and the computer now recognizes the wireless network card and it's working so I say...time to install my brand new ACID Pro 5....first thing that pops up, I have to install .NET Frame blah blah blah...AHHHHhhhhhhh! I did, we'll see how it goes. What does it do anyway?
