Yeah, I am inclined to agree with you. A reinstall seems the best approach. I have several projects in the works which don’t require Premiere and the rest of the suite seems to be working fine, well the ones i use most PS, AE, AI. So, I will work in AE creating the the footage to be edited after the reinstallation. If I do it right now, it will set things too far back. In a way I guess this is the extra push to finish projects both motion and still.
Thank you for your input.
