This is a new install 9/10/23, on a win 11 machine.

the load process gets as far as the vegas pro (build 108), message creating windows... it just hangs there. I killed the task after 2 hours.

I rebooted, again only to get the same result.

I have looked online for a solution to this, but only found links that do not work.

should I regret my purchase?

many thanks in advance.
