Hum this may sound strange but while your video is loading and it stops try hitting your space bar a couple of times to see if that gets it started again or Ctrl+Alt/ Like I said this may sound weired but try I know that on my vegas and some others on the vegas forum where having problems loading Vegas the splash picture would show up Vegas would start loading then freeze by doing what I suggested vegas would conrinue on and load no kidding. Do not know if this would work for you or not but give it a try who knows
