Hi, i recently downloaded Vegas pro 8, even though i have vegas 7 (the copy before it) , but whenever i open it up, i get an error message, like this:

Sony Vegas 7 works, but i need 8 pro!
I've tried changing the Compability mode, no luck!
Please, Please help me!

From Control Panel>System>Advanced System Settings>Advanced> Performance Settings>Data Execution Prevention (DEP)>Turn On DEP for all Programs EXCEPT>add the Vegas.exe

- What is DEP?
DEP is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring programs to make sure they use system memory safely. If a program tries running (also known as executing) code from memory in an incorrect way, DEP closes the program

- How can I prevent DEP from closing a program I trust?
First, see if a DEP-compatible version of the program is available by visiting the software publisher's website. If the publisher has not released an updated, DEP-compatible version of the program, you can turn off DEP for the program that was closed. You will be able to use the program, but it might be vulnerable to an attack that could spread to your other programs and files.

If you choose to turn off DEP for a program, it's a good idea to check frequently for an updated version of the program and, after you update it, to turn on DEP again.
