Yep, I do a lot of those; clients tend to change their mind rather quickly when I give them the estimate to redesign menus… 🙂

Quickbooks ?

The graphic card isn’t really a viable option.
You need a Firewire card. If you have a DV camcorder, just plug the firewire cable into the camcorder and the composite or Svideo from your camcorder to your TV.

Go to Control panel > Administrative Tools > Event viewer > Look for any error involving Premiere Pro and tell me what it says when you double click on it.

No problem 😉
I meant rename the folder where all the clips / images / audio pertaining to your project are. If are in the same folder, you may have to move them. You can delete the preference files by Holding Ctrl+shift as you click on the program icon. You’ll know it worked if a “browse for additional plugins” prompt appears. Other than that, I guess a system restore wouldn’t hurt if none of these solve it 🙁
I’ll see if I can think of anything else.

So what version of Premiere are you working in ?
You say that even the auto-save copies won’t open ? Then it’s either that something in Premiere itself is corrupted, or a file inside your project was corrupted. Here’s what you could do…
1- Delete your preference files
2- Rename the folder where the clips in your project are located, forcing Premiere to load with the files offline, that’ll tell if one of your clips is corrupted (good luck on the next steps ;).3-Delete your preview and peak files.
4- Reinstall Premiere, or upgrade to a newer version if you are not using the latest(try a trial)

Sorry, I truncated my answer a little. It was my company’s editing system, and I honestly can’t recall with card was in there.
Drives were just 7200rpm, setup for one capture per drive, plus the OS, so 3 drives total. If I recall it was on a Dell 2.8 Gig P4 with 2 gigs of ram, it was a back up capture system, and we DID get a few dropped frames.

It’s been a while, and it might have been a 3.x version, I would shoot them an email to confirm that it’s supported in 4.0. And of course multiple channels of firewire.

Try importing it into a new project ?

It really depends on what you are editing. If you are working professionally, that probably won’t do for very long, as these are basically television monitors. Ideally you would want to get a broadcast monitor. If you are only working in standard def, then you can probably find one used for under $400.00. You just need something you can calibrate, with a blue only function, underscan, etc.
As for the connection, most standard def monitors will at least accept composite (BNC or RCA), either one you can get an adapter at your local video store, and SVideo. The better ones will accept component.
On the computer side, whether you buy this TV;) or a real monitor, you will at least need a firewire output (IEEE 1394 card on a PC) and a way to convert that to composite, either by plugging it in to your camcorder / DVCAM deck, or through a third party converter. The graphic card output option isn’t usually much of an option. So you will need a firewire card ($25.00) a firewire cable ($10.00), a way to convert the signal to composite (if you don’t own a camera or deck, that’ll run you around $250.00 for a Canopus box, and then an RCA to RCA video cable, with a possible BNC to RCA adapter.
