Adobe Premier Pro & SP2

[Guest]

My advice...Don't donwload Windows XP SP 2 if you use Adobe Premier Pro.
Although every other program works fine, Premier Pro (either 1.0 or 1.5) now
will not load with SP 2. It never gets past the initial title window. Of
course, PP 1.5 has been out for more than 90 days, so there is no free help
available from Adobe. Has anyone else gotten PP to run with SP2?

BTW, my PC is pretty "white bread" (P4, 1GB RAM, 80 GB HD, NVidia 5900 video
card, Audigy sound card) so I doubt that it's my specific configuration. I've
never had any trouble with PP before. I've tried a repair install of PP 1.5
and a clean uninstall/reinstall. I don't have any 3rd party plug-ins
installed. Other Adobe products (Acrobat, Photoshop, InDesign) run fine.

Basically, when you run PP and look at the Windows Task Manager, PP is using
only a few % of the CPU. The HD light flickers for a bit, then stops. The
program (PP) is tuck in some kind of loop and you can't even kill the PP task
with the Task Manager. You can continue doing anything you want from Windows
or run any other program with no problem.

Perhaps it needs to be re-registered. If you used control panel -->
add/remove
programs, then uninstall PP. Reboot. Reinstall using Control Pannel -->
add/remove
programs and enter the serial number again. Reboot. This will probably work.

If you didn't install PP with software that lets you remove it later, then
you
can just try re-installing the program. This is usually not recommended but
the program isn't working anyway. There may be a quicker way where you
re-register a file from the command line into the registry but I don't know
which file.

They will probably have an answer faster in adobe.premiere.pro.win ; so far
I only saw posts about fixing "disappearing time line" and sp2 so far. You
might try running an upgrade first if you have one for PP. The
un-install/re-install
should take 20 minutes or less. The saved projects/avis aren't messed with,
just
program files are refurbished. Eventually they will have a free fix at
Adobe.

Hi, can explain better.
I have this kind of problem with PPro, after Sp2 the playback of an
.AVI file is really choppy impossibile to work.
