I am having this same issue. Nothing will playback in the reference screen. I did not install anything onto my computer and I was continuing on the same project when it stopped working. It just stays on the current frame.

I noticed that in my reference window now, the play button is gone. WTF!? I’ve tried messing with the playback settings but I can’t get it to reappear. The only way I can get whatever is in the time line to play is by pressing spacebar, but it only plays the audio.

I assume that whatever made my play button disappear is also making my video not playback. Any ideas?

Intel i7 930
12gb Ram

ATI HD Radeon 5770

Please let me know if you come up with a solution between these cards.

I would like to buy CS5 Production because of its use of gpu acceleration. However it is only compatible with the GTX 285, and the FX Series (3800,4800,5800). I want to know if I buy CS5 what my graphics solution should be. Whether I should shell out the money for a 3800 or 4800 or the 285 will work just fine. Or if the 285 will work better in SLI than the 3800 or 4800. The 5800 is out of the question for me, but 2 x GTX285 is still cheaper than the FX3800.

I have a Core i7 930, 12gb DDR3 ram, and an ATI 5770 right now. It’s a shame the my brand new 5770 isn’t compatible with the gpu acceleration in CS5 but I think I can still use it for display purposes and just use the nvidia for processing.

Let me know. Thanks.
