Are all your audio tracks set to the same sample rate? For instance, if you imported music from a CD, generally (specifically commercial CD’s) will have a sample rate of 44.1. DVD standard is 48. If that indeed is the problem, mark an in and out on the whole sequence, right click on the sequence and select transcode. If your destination is DVD, selece 48.
To avoid that problem in the future, you can automatically change the sample rate on import. It’s in audio project in the settings, but I’m not in front of an Avid, and my brain isn’t working….

Go to ebay. Ebay CAN be your friend…
Look for any Sony CRT model starting with BVW, and at least 13″. Sony no longer manufactures CRT’s so you may find some incredibly good deals. Ikegami’s are good, as are Panasonics. I’d stay away from LCD’s. I’ve heard good things about the new (read expensive) Panasonic plasma’s, but I have no experience with them. Make sure it has the connections you need (RGB, SVideo, etc.)

Regardless of the format, if I think I’m going to run my master tape more than once or twice, I’ll make a dub master, AND a master. That way, I’ve got an archival-quality master sitting on the shelf, and one for dubs. Tapes don’t USUALLY break, but machines eat tapes, oxide flecks off, etc…. It’s really more of an insurance policy – tape is cheap!

What version software, what OS, what soundcard, how much RAM do you have?
Do you have other programs open?
What kind of media drives? SCSI, internal IDE HD or firewire?
More info is needed before troubleshooting can begin. What exactly are you trying to do? Does this happen EVERYTIME you play media, or just sometimes. What resolution did you digitize your footage at? Avid generates many cryptic messages, but most problems are caused by fairly simple things.

Go into both of your drives and delete the media database files (.mdb & .msm). You should see the media.

Lose the window unless you plan on putting some CTO w/ ND up knock down some of the light. If you don’t, you won’t even see the boring trees in post – just a boring white blob that will truly look bad. In my experience, it’s not the interviewee that’s boring – it’s the interviewER. Your job (if you are the one asking the questions) is to extract whatever passion these people have for whatever subject your trying to get across…

-The quad split shows up, activating your M1, etc. keys
