I've put off posting this because I thought it would likely just "go away" by itself or I would determine the cause outside of Vegas 5. After all, Vegas 4 was rock solid under both my previous Win98se and my current XP Home Edition. Certainly Vegas could not be at fault.
However, I'm no longer confident that V5 isn't the cause of the crashes. I know there are many factors that could cause instability, but nothing has really changed on my PC since installing Vegas 5a. No other apps crash on the PC. It seems like Vegas 5 might be much more resource intensive because most of the crashes seem to occur when I have IE open with 1-3 browser sessions. These crashes aren't too bothersome because XP comes right back and I continue where I left off.
Today my system crashed with an exception error in module ntdll.dll. No other apps were open at the time. All I tried to do was delete an audio event from the timeline. This crash led to this posting.
Is anyone else experiencing random but frequent crashes with V5a with XP Home? I'm running Microsoft Service Pack 1. Thanks.
