corrupted project
I’m working in a project in Premiere CS3 that crashed several times, until the file became damaged and I could not open it anymore. I then opened an earlier version in the Auto-Save folder, but it still continued to crash, and now Premiere freezes every time I try to work with this project. I have a Matrox RTX2 LE card. When I created the original project, I had not installed the Matrox already. Later, with the Matrox installed, I opened a new project using Matrox settings, and then I imported the old project to it. The problem occurs when I try to work with the old project without using Matrox and with the new one using Matrox. I think something is corrupted inside the project and I cannot figure out what’s happening. Can anyone help me?

If all your backups are crashing, it’s very likely that it’s not related to the project file itself.
First, delete all your preview files and the media cache folder to root out any corruption issues there. Try to open the project then.
If that doesn’t work, the second step involves some patience.
Move your project file(s) into a different folder, thus forcing Premiere to relink every file (that’s where patience comes in).
If Premiere crashes at this point, you’ll know which file to skip the next time.

A quick way to do the above is to simple rename the folder in which the media lives…
this effectively changes the path to the media and thus would force PPRO to ask you where media lives.
