"Your application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware."

Hello!  I am a college student and not really that good with computers, but I do really enjoy using your product Sony Vegas Pro 12.0 for making YT videos.  I have a Microsoft Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop, and I've been working on this one video for months now.  It has a lot of video tracks and has a lot of pictures moving in and out at quick speeds (idk if this is relevant but I figured I'd tell you in case it was part of the issue).  However, starting yesterday I've been opening my finished video to start rendering it and it shows only a black screen even when I move the cursor thing.  When I press play the system shuts down and I have to restart it.  It doesn't render at all, and a little notification pops up that says "your application has been blocked from accessing Graphics hardware".  I don't know if this is the correct place to ask about this but I've looked everywhere and have gotten no answers.  I really don't want to lose that video.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I really need help.

 

Thanks so much.

Hello! Sound like a driver issue to me, did you try to render a other video? (just for test) updated GPU drivers? GPU acceleration off?  GPU render off ? (not sure VP12 already had that)

I'm not really sure how to do these things...but I am really appreciative of your response!  Thank you so much!  I'll try what you said:)

"...it shows only a black screen even when I move the cursor thing."

Do you have the video track muted?

"When I press play the system shuts down and I have to restart it."

Make sure your laptop is not overheating. When you play video on a laptop the CPU and GPU work harder. An overheated computer can produce any number of unexpected messages, too.

Nope, not muted. And I really wish I knew what GPU and CPU really were and how they worked. It would probably make this easier.

Is your laptop able to play and loop one of your source files full screen using Windows Media Player or other software player?

Yes I think so.
