Vegas 5 freezes when loading a file

taylorEGO wrote on 1/15/2005, 4:18 PM

I recently got a new motherboard and reinstalled windows and all my programs and plugins.
Now I open vegas 5 and I can load all of my old project files (from vegas3) except one.
It freezes at 19% every time.
Is there any way to repair the file or get it to open at all?
I really need the song and I don't want to have to try to find all the wav files and build a new file for it... that could take days.
any ideas?

The file may be corrupted. Can you still open the project ok in Vegas 3? If so, you might try rendering the "problem file" and "save as" to a different name, perhaps even applying a very minor, unimportant edit to the file. Rename the entire project, delete the original file from this new project, click save and close. Now see if the newly named project will open in Vegas 5. Everything would be the same except you have a new "version" of the file in question.
