Hello kaos123 :wavey:


Services are programs that autostart at boot and keep running without interaction from the user; svchost.exe job is to launch some of this services. Having many svchost.exe programs running is normal, it means you are running many services. However, you probably dont use some of the services that are running the memory usage, so I strongly recommend you disabling the services you dont need to run in order to increase your computer performance. Disabling services that you dont use will also increase your computer security, as some types of malware take advantage of services running. To do so, please follow these instructions


Disabling services- Go to Start/Run and copy and paste the following in the box:

services.msc

Then press enter. A new Window will open (services), there you may disable the services you dont need. To disable a service you have to double-click it and select "Disabled". HERE is an interesting list of Windows XP services. If you want to get further infomation on a service, you may google it or ask here.


Still, having 4MB of RAM, Sony Vegas should run anyway with no problem. Please take a screenshot of the error window you receive and post it in your next response.
It's not going to work. Read this thread all the way to the end then link to the next one (first one appleoddity pointed you to in his Google search).

People using Dual or Quad Core systems with 4GB of ram have the same problem, mostly when rendering in HD. In my opinion it's a poorly written application. Also, those threads indicate the problem is new with V9 where V8 worked okay.

Perhaps a new Quad Core system with 8GB of ram "might" work but even that's no guarantee.

To have more than 4 gb of RAM you will have to get either Vista or windows 7 64-bit. XP 64 bit would technically do but it is carp & is not useful at all do to the lack of driver support from manufacturers. You will also have to have a 64 bit processor (which most of the modern ones are) & you will also have to have a motherboard that can support that much ram. I just felt like I should put that down even though I know nothing at all about that software. Perhaps you can take it back and tell them that it doesn't work. :smack:
