Not sure if this will be helpful but here is what I get with ver. 9.0.1
In[17]:= p := (px + t vx)^4 + (py + t vy)^4 == 1
r := {px -> 0.5, py -> 0.5, vx -> 0.5, vy -> 0.5}
NSolve[p /. r, t]
Solve[p, t] /. r
Solve[p]
Out[19]= {{t -> -2.68179}, {t -> -1. - 1.68179 I}, {t -> -1. +
1.68179 I}, {t -> 0.681793}}
