for some odd reason my vegas went from working completely fine, to now not being able to load and edit videofiles...

i get the error; The MSSQL$SONY:MEDIAMGR service does not excist or the current account does not have enough privilege to manage it..

then i get this; an error has occurred with the media manager, the feature will be unavailible. Media Manager initialization failed.

if anyone has any ideas, please let me know

bumpT, i need help: (

Maybe you need to reinstall Vegas. I'm not sure what else could be the problem.
hoping to help

i did that 10 times:/

did you disable any services check ther for this service
when you uninstall make sure there is nothing left in reg
I think sony also has a tracker can't remem what it's called shhess

this sounds like a corrupt database

do search uninstall does not always uninstall
delete any files folders for sony
reboot befor new install



good luck

Sony does have that digital rights management software; howard_hopkinso helped me get it off my computer. I think some associated files are aries.sys and $sys$drmserver.exe. Just in case you wanted to know what it was called, Samstoned.
cheers

I got it now, rootkit ,that may be the error
still remove the database files
I wonder if they got it foxed
