Sony Vegas won't load any lossless AVIs

[JongWu]

Or any AVIs for that matter(not that there's much use for an XviD file or anything, but you see my point).

If I try to import one, or more specifically, even try to click on one while I'm in "Open" or "Import," Vegas pauses for a second, I get a "Sony Vegas has stopped working" pop-up, and then that's it. Vegas closes itself down, and I die a little on the inside.

This never used to happen on the old comp with XP that used to be my primary, but ever since I shifted to newer computer with everybody's favorite OS Windows Vista, it's just been one problem after another that I can't fix or don't have the software to fix.

Anyway, any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Try re-installing it.

There are some things that you can do to force a program to stay open. I dont remember what they are, but I had to use it when I had vista for a similar problem. Uh... if everything is the same as when you had XP, you can just downgrade (More like upgrade) back to XP, or just change your OS to something else in general (Linux?) Anyway, there may also be some problems with a codec that you have that prevents it from reading it correctly. This is just off the top of my head, but I hope it helps...

what version of sony vegas are you using?

Re-Install the new version of vegas

That's a codec problem. The one i installed in order to use avi files in sony vegas (8.0 btw) was K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 5.7.0 (and an adicional AVI codec pack Lite)...

Hope it'll work on you.

K-Lite should be avoided in general, especially the mega pack.

Any time you install more than one codec that handles the same thing, you set yourself up for problems

As said before, reinstalling Vegas is your best bet.
