I guarantee that installing those codec packs is the cause of your problems.
Vegas forums are full of users like yourself who did this and ended up with a LOT more problems than they originally had.
The biggest problem is that some of these codecs take over from the codecs that were originally installed.
Uninstalling them is no guarantee that you'll get a properly working computer back again either :(
The only known cure is a reinstall of windows followed by reinstalling of all your software.
I know it's not a pleasant task but it's the only sure-fire way to get things back to normal.

Not quite sure what your quote of Mike's advice on the Cow to a poster who had installed K-Lite has to do with the title of your post. Absolutely no connection as far as I can see.

Vholdr AVI files require downloading and installing an Xvid VFW codec.
You should get this only from its parent site to avoid baddies.

His advice about not installing shotgun codec packs is perfect.
