does anybody know how to fix it

Do you get this error when trying to install or after installing and running the game?

Vegas 2's copy protection causes many problems.

If you have virtual drives.
Programs like Alcohol, etc.

And many SATA DVD drives.

Try removing virtual drives, and if SATA is causing the problem, connect an IDE drive if you have one laying around.
