Hey what's up to anyone reading this....I posted a few weeks back about an error I was getting when I tried to start Vegas. Now there is a new twist to this whole problem which may help narrow down the solutions. First off I will repost my 1st message just in case you missed it....(message contiued further down)

I am a registered Vegas user. I have successfully used Vegas 5.0 for approximately a year. I have been running Windows 2000 on my PC. Recently, I purchased some software that required Windows XP so I upgraded my OS. I installed all the critical updates for Windows XP including SP2. I then installed all my software back onto the SAME EXACT PC. No hardware changes were made. The only change made was the OS. I installed Vegas 5.0 and now every time I try to start Vegas I get this error:
"An error occurred starting Vegas. The system is low on memory. You may be able to reduce memory usage by closing other applications."
I never once had this issue with the Windows 2000 OS. I then reformatted my drive again and reinstalled Windows XP and all updates. This time I installed Vegas before any other software. I then tried to run Vegas with no other applications running or installed for that matter. I keep getting the same error. As a test, I installed Vegas on another PC I own. This PC has Windows XP with the same updates. I have no problem running Vegas on that PC however I do not want to use that PC because all my hard drives (5 total) containing all my media are on my main PC. I really need some help getting Vegas running again on my main PC. Vegas is my only video editing software and I am currently in the middle of a project that requires Vegas. I appreciate any help you can give me. Please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

OK...so I decided that it was time for a new computer because the P4 1.8GHz I was running just wasn't cutting it with all the plugins I like to use....THE TWIST: I bought a new motherboard, chip, and ram and I'm still getting the same exact error...I reformatted my C: drive again and tried installing Windows XP Pro SP2 instead of Window XP Home. WHAT GIVES??? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
NEW HARDWARE
----------------------------
Motherboard- Gigabyte P4 Titan GA-8IPE1000 with Intel 865 PE chipset
Chip - P4 3E GHz 800MHz FSB and 1MB L2 cache
RAM - 2 sticks of 1GB DDR PC3200
