Vegas 11 doesn't support XP.

Hi guys. I've got a problem.
While rendering (usually at 3 or 4% of the project) the monitor blacks out and after a second or two it comes back up and windows says "Display driver crashed and recovered"


After that Vegas seems to continue render but it doesn't. It just stacks.
In order to render i had to un check the "enable cpu acceleration" tab.

Any ideas?

System
Asus Samertooth X58, i7 960, 24GBram, ATI Radeon 6790 1GB ddr5, catalyst driver 11.9
Win7 64, Vegas 11 64

Thanks

Stefanos, you are lucky you can render at all. I cannot render 720p for Bluray even after unchecking GPU, and I have about 20 projects shot in 720p to do. I'm stuck with V10. Can't use 11 at all. I have to wait and see if the first update fixes the issue. It probably will, but who knows?

I found the problem, I was using a render template from V10, V11 doesn't like it. I made a new template in V11, runs great. Problem solved.

Thanks Jeff! I will try this and report back!

I'm doing some twixtor work and i gotta say V11 rocks! It is FAST. There are a lot of flexibility now that even CC wheels can be key framed. I do not like the new top to bottom 3 colour wheel but the keyframe option superb. This is truly quite a good upgrade

Unfortunately this does not solved MY problem, but it was worth a try.

I created a new template from scratch but nothing changed. At the 4-5% stage the display card driver crashed and rendering halted.

So any other thoughts anyone? :)

The reason for the error could not be determined." If I change the encode mode to "Render using CPU only" the file renders fine. I am using Catalyst 11.9 drivers.

I thought only Sony AVC has support for GPU rendering - did that change with Pro 11???

Andreas, there's LOTS of GPU changes in Vegas Pro 11!

If you click the custom tab on the color corrector you get the old horizontal 3 color wheel.
