Hmmmm. I think that it may be your system that is causing problems. I'm assuming that you have 1.27Gb of ram, not 1.27Mb.

Check the amount of free hard disk space on your Hard Drive. Also check to see how you specified the directory structure on installation. It sounds like VUE cannot find the files it is looking for.

Check the size of your "Swap File". It should be at least 2Gb in size, and it should be static, not dynamic. (IE) Both 'max' & 'min' sizes should be the same for best efficiency.

Check to see if your system is infected with excess 'cookies' and other internet crap eating up HD & memory space. Run an online virus scanner & Ad-Aware just in case.

I've been running VUE for the past 4 years and have not had any issues, outside of the usual documented bugs.

FYI - I run 4 separate hard drive partitions or physical hard drives. one for the OS, a second one for installed programs, third one for data and the 4th one for the Windows swap file (can be stuck in the OS partition). By segregating data, HD crap can be kept to a minimum.

It sounds to me that your install may be a problem as VUE cannot locate sub-folders, hence they are 'blacked' out. I do not know how much of technically (hardware/software) savy you are, so check the above and let us know.
