general protection fault?????

In Vegas 6 it keeps freezing up and I get a message that says-"general protection fault "and I have to shut down with the task mgr. Anybody know what this means?

Are you overclocking?

It's probably a video driver issue. You might try omega drivers or an older set of drivers. Nvidia drivers have been known to have issues with Vista. This doesn't make Vista a bad thing, it just means the best solution for you is to dual boot XP and play Vegas 6 in XP.

Also, make sure you have the latest patch for Vegas 6.

Maybe someone has a better solution as I'm not familiar with that particular game.

No overclocking, and never used Omega drivers. How do you dual boot to XP?
