Memory could not be read error

[MTD]

Whenever I try to render a project in Sony Vegas 6 lately my computer gives me the reference memory error (blah blah blah, memory could not be "read") and then closes the program, but leaves it running in task manager under "processes".. The render will work however, if I don't use the best quality options (including two pass) like I normally use. I'd like to continue rendering like that, but my computer doesn't seem to like it anymore, regardless which project it is. I've searched and haven't really found any solutions. Anybody else run into this?

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling Vegas 6? That is usually the first step when troubleshooting software issues.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled it already, yeah. It then almost worked, and got really far in a render, but then in the morning the program was closed and I was left with 18 seconds of footage. I'm still cleaning up my computer more so we'll see what happens.

What sort of video are you working with ?
Does this happen with any video - say DV avi - or only certain types of video ?

Well, here's the update:

Vegas now says that the "media library has a newer version that isn't supported by this version" or something when I start up Vegas.

No luck with rendering MPEGs...if I render .avi's it immediately crashes but says that an error has occured with the current operation and I checked the details and it points to "vegas60k.dll", which is a file in my Vegas directory, but I don't know what I can do about that. Right now I'm running a malware thing and it's found 129...but I doubt removing those will end up solving my problem. At this rate I'm looking at a complete reinstall of Windows.
