are you going File-> Export? If so…..don’t.
Always add your comps to the render queue, here you have a lot more control over what you are outputting.
is that what you mean?

In the render queue check the render settings for solo switches, proxies, effects and guide layers. You can choose on, off or current settings. Make sure they are all set how you want them, normally “current settings”.

ummmm, here at the COW – go through some tutorials…… buy a book……do some more tutorials…buy some training videos like Total Training

you can usually be sure that footage captured from a consumer DV camera through firewire is lowerfield first. I’ve found most professional NLE’s are upper (I don’t know why). If you search the archives you will find a way to determine if footage is captured upper or lower, I just can’t remember the process at the moment.
My guess (and I’m not really sure of this) with tape machines, is that there is no dominate field order until it is captured. The tape machine just plays all the fields in the order they are on tape…..it’s when you capture those fields (half frames) and want to work with them as full frames that it becomes an issue. hmmmmm, it makes sense in my head….

when you scrub you need to hold some ctrl to get audio……or do a RAM preview…… does that work?

that is possibly the correct render time – it all depends on how complex(and size and duration) your composition is. I’m working on a project at the moment that is taking about 6hours to render 30seconds. Effects like motion blur/3d space/lights/fractal noise/etc all increase render times. There are a number of ways to cut down on render times (such as using proxies), but they are more of a workflow thing, rather than a render settings thing.
I’d suggest just doing RAM previews or low-res renders during the day, then let your hi-res one render overnight.

maybe try deleting the preferences file (this file doesn’t get removed when you re-install)- I can’t exactly remember where it is located….somewhere in your user files i think. Search the archives for “preferences” and it should come up.
