Vegas 10c kills DV capture utility

I upgraded to Vegas 10c, 64-bit on Windows 7. and now when I click on "Capture Video," and select "DV," the Capture utility window fails to open. Basically the upgrade to 10c killed Sony's DV Video capture utility.

I've tried going to Options -> Preferences -> Video -> Use External Capture Application. Checked or unchecked, it still doesn't work.

I've navigated to the location of the vidcap:
C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 10.0\vidcap60.exe. I see Vidcap60 in that folder. When I double click it, I see the message: "The program can't start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

Is the solution to un and re-install Vegas? Is there a simpler solution?
 
Thanks David. Do I simply need to un and re-install via Windows, or is there some better way? Will I lose all my personalizations within Vegas?
 
Do it through Windows, though you may try the Repair option (if it's available) first.

You can find at least some of your preferences saved in the Vegas folders. There are Sony folders in Program files and in AppData.
 
Thanks David. Reinstalled, problem is fixed. Better, all my personalizations seem to have been automatically preserved.
