Cant open Sony Vegas

I have Sony Vegas Pro 8 on Windows 8. Every time I try to open it, it gets stuck on "creating I/O manager" and makes me entire computer freeze unless I can close it or else I'll have to hold down the button on my computer to shut it off. I looked up solutions, but most of them said to end a process while it's stuck. That doesn't work for me because 1, I can't even find it on the task manager, and 2, my computer freezes within the next minute I try to open it. I don't plan on updating Sony Vegas unless I can find a free full download for it, and those versions can get stuck on creating I/O manager too.

Sounds like you should contact Sony's support people and ask them for help.
It's part of what you paid for when you bought the program.

Um, the updates on the same version should be free. Usually the updater's in about, help menu of preference menu.
Kind of like CS6 and 6.2. But try updating it first, that usually gives a good chance to fix things.
