Don’t think its the disks…I’m running off a brand new, 400GB Seagate 7200rpm hard disk with a 16MB cache and I defrag almost daily. I tried removing all the peripheral usb/firewire devices and this seems to have solved the problem. It could just be a coincidence though. I’ll be back if it happens again! Thanks for the advice people

thanks for the response.

No, I’ve only got the camera attached via firewire although to be fair I don’t need this attached when editing. I’ve killed all processes other than windows and premiere so I can be sure its not a virus scan or anything like that kicking in. I hadn’t thought about disconnecting all the usb devices though, might this help?

What I can’t understand is why I can scrub through the timeline just fine and see the video and audio as it should be but then as soon as i press play it craps kittens.
