    First of all let me tell you guys how highly I regard you from reading the postings here.
    You truly are “the” experts on PPro!

    Here’s my problem.
    Last week PPro started acting weird so I uninstalled and reinstalled it.
    In the process I also uninstalled some VST audio plugins I don’t use on this machine any more.

    After reinstalling PPro, I have issues with capturing and freezes
    I can capture video ok via Firewire, but the capture window video is stuttering like mad!
    The captured video is ok, but this little thing annoys me …

    Sometimes when I render out imported stock footage (Quicktime) in the timeline the system hangs for no reason.
    Same thing happens when I drag and drop an uncompressed AVI file in the timeline.
    The only option left is to force quit PPro and relaunch.
    Not the nicest way to work as you can imagine.

    Last but not least I tried to reset the prefs by Shift-launching the app.
    The software asks for plugin files from plugins that are not on the system any more!
    So I seemingly cannot reset the prefs.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Here’s my config :

    P4 3.2 Ghz
    2 GB RAM DDR 400
    1 OS+app disk SATA 160 GB
    2 SATA 250 GB disks striped in RAID 2+0
    PPRO 1.5.1
    XP with SP2

    You can delete Premiere’s pref file….C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\1.5\Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs

    The playback issue sounds like video card driver problem, but try switching Desktop Playback modes from “Use Direct 3D” to “Use GDI” (DV Playback Settings) before updating drivers.

    Mike,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I updated the video drivers recently.
    My graphics card is an Nvidia 5700.
    Any idead if the card could be the issue ?

    I solved the audio plugin problem and Premiere crashes a lot less.
    Now just the playback issues and we’re in the green !

    Again, thanks a lot for your help !

    The 5700 is OK, I have installed numerous 5200’s and 5700’s in work stations.
