Vista lockups?

[Wegg]

Sometimes while I'm working on something in Speed Edit 1.5 on my laptop and Vista it will just lock up. The screen will go lighter and a window will pop up saying "SpeedEdit.exe is not responding" and gives me two options. Close the program or Wait for the program to respond. Waiting never does anything. Closing is usually my only option. This machine is a dual core system with 2 gigs of ram so its surprising that this is happening. But it is. :-/

Any advice?

Does SE 1.2 still work ? I have the same problem with SE 1.5 on a Dual Core 2GB mem laptop in Vista32 except it's not locking up "sometimes" but "always". I couldn't make it work once. However SE 1.2 works OK. I posted a request to Newtek support but I still have no answer after 8 days. Vista issues a problem report and I sent it with my request. It's chinese to me.

It is NOT 1.5. It is Vista and the hundreds of things to get rid of Allow ect.. You need to get Vista leaned out and configured as a Video Editor. Do some searches looking for Vista Tips n Tricks, and turn off as much as you can. DX10 might have some things to help, though that great 9.0c had so much more info. On a singel drive laptop, sending Cache to the correct folder, maybe or maybe not Win/temp should help some. SE1.5 is solid on a 3.2 and 3.8 AMD with XP-MCE SP2, so the problem is Vista, NOT SPEdit1.x.

GoodLuck... Oh, if you would share what you find for others would be nice.

has opening vista off the start menu in service pack 2 mode worked/xp mode?

I thought there was something I seen that worked that way.

I've only had an original Vista32 500meg dualcore, never been on the net, to look at for an hour, and then some Vista time at Radio Shack. Think it was mentioned you can turn off UAC or Areo for stability for Video Editing NLE's.

I wiped out an XP64 Beta drive to strip a raid instead.

GoodLuck

As of 1.2, SE takes care of that for you automatically. It disables Aero when SE launches, and switches it back on upon exit.

1.2 was the first version of SE that I'd installed under Vista, and I've had no problems/crashes with it in a single drive pentium duo laptop with a gig of ram. The only thing I've really done configuration wise is strip out all the garbage apps that Gateway preinstalled from the factory (no, I don't need the Google Toolbar Desktop enhancement, and a virus scanner constantly scanning the hard drive thank-you very much.)

Good to know and thanks. So NT can manipulate M$ if they want! So if Newtek would only share what other Vista crappola they remove! LOL Vista64 DOS next year! LOL I want my BIOS back!

Thanks Bill
