could someone help me out? i'm having a really annoying problem with vegas... i played it several days ago without any problems whatsoever on a clean installation and now the game doesn't start at all... i've tried reinstalling twice now to no avail. and i've tried all the various forms of NO CD patches out there for ver 1.0, 1.01, and 1.02 and the game doesn't start. whenever i try to run the game i can see my computer is trying to run something because the light on my case flashes but after a while it stops and when i check task manager, it doesn't show up under applications, but it DOES show up under processes just sitting there idly... strange thing is it doesn't lag my computer by eating up memory either... it says it takes up like 100,000K but my computer runs as if it's not even there
