I have Premiere Pro installed on my laptop. I created a test project and all was fine. I then tried to open a project I had connected via firewire. It came up asked for a file and crashed. Now it comes boots up to the Write_On.aex and then I have a blank screen. I've tried opening other projects, deleting the pref file, holding the shift key while booting, disabling the audio codecs, all with no success. I am on the road for 4 weeks and need to be able to edit. Anyone had similar problems or have any ideas?

I guess I just searched right today. I have been trying to solve this problem for a couple of days now. The answer is at - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=332888


fyi - my issue was a blank screen when Premiere loaded followed by having to do a hard reboot - updating the driver fixed my issue
