    Did you remember to update FCP and all related software such as QT? If not, do that…

    That is what I was thinking about….but will be hard to do right now. The reason for the re-install was I was having problems with the internet connection @ work. I’m drop packets like crazy on pings. So I can’t get up dates right now. But we are going to call tech so we can take it to our apple cert. shop here. Thanks Mr. Roth

    Don’t know if this will help you but………… I just updated my fcp 5.1 to 5.1.4 through apple updates two days ago and ever since I kept gettin a General Error (41) everytime I tried to open a project. I just figured out that my shortcuts on my desktop and in the dock were still pulling up 5.1 and not 5.1.4. I updated my shortcuts and am now back work!!!!!

    Hope this helps!

    Same thing was happening to me. I reinstalled FCP 5, then couldn’t open my recent projects. Thought I’d tried everything and then it dawned: my install disk is for 5, but I had since updated to 5.1.4. I had to update again. Now it’s fine.
