Now for the hunt.

Found Sony Vegas Pro. Hidden away in a “safe place”. One of these days I will learn to stop putting things in a “safe place”. That makes them almost impossible to locate later. I would be much better of it I put them where they belong.

The install for Sony Vegas is so unsettling. Actually it isn’t the Vegas that’s a problem, it is the .NET framework that is a bit weird. The progress bar will move along fairly rapidly then when it gets to 99% it just sits there forever. Did I forget to click a button? Is my computer a doa? Just about the time I figure, let’s push cancel and try again up pops another window’s progress bar giving me some assurance that things are progressing according to plan. Just wish that plan had some room for putting the poor computer user at ease — at least a little.

Of course the trick here will be remembering all of the plugins that were installed. I could look through my browser history, I suppose, to find the sites I’ve been visiting, except for two little problems 1) I delete all history over 30 days old, 2) All of my bookmarks and history were on the C drive (remember C and G died). Those of you reading top down might have missed the beginning of this adventure — my computer hard drive went the way of burnt toast.

Camtasia Studio was slightly easier to locate. It was still sitting in the place I reserve for putting things that I haven’t figured out where to put them yet.
