Don't know what I did but after editing a video sound suddenly noticed a series of green squares just by the time indicator on the timeline. When playing back this portion is just black screen.. what have I done and how do I remove the offending problem

As borgus1 suggested: Try deleting the temporary files, under EDIT|PREFERENCES|GENERAL tab "manually delete."

However when checking about deleting temp files as suggested . The list showed many files as in use. To be safe I did not delete any until clarified.
Is it safe to delete all these files whether 'in use' or not.

Any other ideas what the problem may be

Cheers

These are temporary files that should be rebuilt as needed. Always back up your project first.

NVidia's latest 331.65 driver can cause this "green line" rendering problem. If that is the driver being used, I suggest a roll back to the prior driver via Control Panel|DEVICE MANAGER|VIDEO ADAPTERS|<your adapter>|DRIVER tab|ROLL BACK.

Or download and install an earlier driver from http://geforce.com/drivers

Although the list showed some file as in use I still selected ALL files and tried deleting. Msg informed some files where in use and then I noticed all the IN Use file were deselected and only the Not In Use files were left selected. I opted to delete and yet still a msg saying some files are in use so I opted not to delete. I am worried that if I delete I may lose files that I cannot recover. Please advise.

My Graphics card is a AMD Radeon HD 5700.
