Quick update - I decided to try and reinstall my video card drivers and got a series of fatal errors. Something has gone very wrong with my system.

Alas, like Ripley says in Aliens, the only way to be sure is to nuke it from orbit. I'll be back once the hd format is done. AMD 1055 6-core@2.8ghz, 8gb ram, 1 tb hd, XFX radeon 6970, 24" samsung led screen, Antec 1200 full tower case. Running on Windows 7 home premium x64.

"It's the only way to be sure..." Let's hope you also don't need to battle the queen in the loading dock

haha just kidding

IT WORKED!

Here is what I did last night and just getting home from work a couple of hours ago..

-Backed up a few files on my external hd
-Formatted hd
-installed Win7 x64
-installed video card drivers
-installed ethernet, sound drivers
-Firefox
-Norton 360
-Windows update several times until completed

-installed PD12,Wave Editor, and Quicktime
-Updated quicktime, then latest PD12 patch
-I have yet to install all of the content packs

-Ran a test 3 times over consisting of importing several of my videos, playing them in the library, dragging them into the timeline and playing them. Pausing and moving slider around, then play again. Restarting PD12 each test.

So, to sum everything up. It looks as though I had something conflicting within my video drivers, windows, quicktime, and codecs that PD12 needs. Its tough to pinpoint it exactly as I'm not a computer tech, just a somewhat nerd/weekend warrior. Nonetheless, formatting the hd and starting from scratch has fixed the problem.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply and help out, especially optodata. You have all done a far better job than customer service could ever accomplish

EXCELLENT!

If this hadn't worked, we'd really be scratching our heads.

FWIW, PD (and HD video editing in general) seem to be at the very top of the most demanding things you can do with a computer. You need absolutely everything to be working properly. I've seen several cases where "everything else" is working perfectly but people keep getting unfixable error messages or crashes when editing, importing or producing HD.

In your case, you were willing to bite the bullet and do the full OS reinstall, and now you're golden!

By all means, please make a system image of your Windows partition NOW so you'll always be able to restore things to this moment of certainty. Even though you'll have to install the appropriate updates if you restore this image, at least you'll know that you'll be building on a solid foundation.

Now that your importing issue is resolved, could you please update the title of the thread to as SOLVED (or something similar)? Then get to work on that video you were going to make

Happy Editing!

Great work you guys!

While you're on a roll, do you think you could sort out World Peace?

Sure thing. Probably nothing that a planet-wide reinitialization couldn't fix

Yes, Keep the United States out of the civil war in Iraq.

Let each country fight their own wars.

If your country has citizens in the country fighting a civil war, tell them to get out of that country and come home.
