I built a new computer (XP SP3) and have loaded SF10 and CDA 5.2 that came on the SF10 installation disc. I also have Vegas 8.0c from a prior computer that died. All programs are activated.

I am getting strange error messages trying to load and run
Vegas Pro:
"Microsoft.net runtime could not be initialized."
and
"An error occurred starting Vegas Pro. An invalid argument was specified."

The program will not load.
I downloaded Microsoft NET framework 4, but that did not help.


With SF10 and CDA I was also getting messages such as
"Sony NGenTool encountered a problem and needs to close."
and
"CD Architect failed to register with windows termnial services"

But these message went away after removing the programs, rebooting the computer and re-installing the software.


So, at this point, I can get SF10 and CDA 5.2 to open and run, but I cannot get
Vegas 8.0c to open.

Any ideas?

You need Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 - although you installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0, strangely these are not updates and each version is mutually exclusive.

Thanks! The Net 3.5 worked.

Not mutually exclusive, but more correctly independant .
