Ah, that's good news - will try them straight away :)

Eugene - re your query - I wouldn't have thought it makes a difference what Vegas version you're using - the drivers would operate at the OS level, independent of Vegas. My thoughts would be that you could use both on the 64 bit Windows OS with the 64 bit U1 driver installed.

OK, makes sense, thanks.

Well I've loaded the 64 bit drivers and u1 utility. All seems to work well until I try to launch my 64 bit Vegas (9b) and it won't work citing an error with the .net framework. Tried to reinstall that failed too. The 32 Bit version of Vegas seems unaffected. Anyone else having any experiences?

I had the same problem with all my 64bit programs (photoshop, 3dsmax)

after careful searching on the MS download page I found the latest C++ 2005 packages (release 28/07/2009)
Just installed them (both x64 as x86)

and now everything works smoothly! See if that works for you!
Let me know!

Hey guys,

Were you seeing a problem AFTER the 64bit drivers were installed?

I've been battling a problem where most of my 64bit apps wouldn't load with a "side-by-side" configuration error - I had to restore my system drive 5 times!

I thought it was an MS update that was causing the problem though - will have to explore if the U1 drivers were at fault.

A system restore etc didn't fix the problem and installing the C++ redist didn't help either (although not sure if it was the very latest). It did completely screw my system though!

Will investigate a bit more...

I had the very same problem

Did you installthe latest from the link I posted? None of the earlier versions worked!

these ones worked for me!
now there are no more side by side errors!

No but i'll try it right now...

Great - it did indeed fix the problem :)

If only I'd had that fix before - would have saved a day of frustration!

Cheers,

Paul.

Worked for me too. Thanks Vim.
