Premiere CS4 problem in vista 64 bit

Hello:
Has anyone here have problems with premiere cs4 in vista 64 bit?
I do preview my footage well in CS4 running in 32 bit (desktop) and my laptop runs in 64. I can see the thumbnail fine in the project window but the MONITOR window shows nothing back just a green flat image. Sound runs fine and I can hear it well without problems.

I can watch the same footage fine in After Effects CS4 thought.

I run a Dell studio 1737. Intel Core 2 duo T6400 @ 2.00GHz each.
4 gigs of RAM with SP1.

My footage is P2 content recorded on a HVX200. But i know the MXF file isnt the problem as it doesnt run normal SD miniDV material either.

Is there any problem in this configuration?
Does somebody here has the same problem or found a workaround/solution?
Could it be that this laptop model uses the Mobile Intel 4 series express chipset family video display card?
How can it show footage in after cs4 then?
Is there a driver lacking maybe?
Any suggestions?
 
First thing I would do is update all of my drivers.

Second thing I would do is contact Adobe for support and see if they have any fixes for it.

If you can get a video card driver straight from either Nvidia or ATI (whoever makes your chip) that would be ideal, since those drivers get updated more often than dell likes to.
 
VISTA woes

VISTA woes

I feel your pain. I'm running a quad core, ZT affinity system I bought so I could use CS4, so I could get AVCHD to work from the HMC150... System came pre-loaded with Vista.

I'd heard the horror stories but iI thought, NAHHH, I can fix any bugs... Andnow, having tried Vista, I can say this: Vista is a very pretty, nice looking...
piece of junk as far as I'm concerned. It's like the Windows ME mess all over again.
NOTHING works with it- not my Wireless-N card, my CS4, my Dell 720 printer. NADA.

HEY MICROSOFT, those of us who use your products, tend to LIKE your products- PLEASE STOP RE-INVENTING Windows to try and turn it into a Mac. If I wanted a Mac, I'd buy one.
 
I just got a shiny new Studio 1737 and had the same panic as the first time I loaded Premiere the Program monitor was 180° out of phase!

The very latest Intel drivers fixed it straight-away: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...All&OSFullName=All Operating Systems&lang=eng

Haven't done any real editing yet on Vista x64, but so far following the Adobe recommendations plus the same strip down you'd do for any OS the system runs like a scalded weasel.

I have had a chance to encode some oddball .aiff files that, for some reason, wouldn't open in anything but Premiere.

In CS3, on XP 32bit, on a dual core desktop they took about an hour and a half to encode.

In the 64bit environment Media Encoder CS4 batched them in 13 minutes!

I had hoped to hold out for Windows 7, but so far I'm pretty confident that I can get Vista to work.

Anybody who expects to buy a windows based PC off the shelf and hope that it performs well is short-sighted.

All of the bloat ware that PC manufacturers load onto the machines make them slower than dirt. For maximum performance you should always be reloading your new PCs when you get them. If you have the know-how and time, building your own PC for editing is the best.

Macs don't seem to get the bloatware treatment as of now, and I think Apple prefers to keep it that way since they create 95% of the software loaded on a base system.

Thank you for the tip Raytracer.
Ill look for that driver right away! I hope it helps my issue. I isntalled Premiere CS3 in this same computer and...same problem...black monitor with just sound.
Lets see what happens after installing.
 
Raytracer...I thank you very much for the link.
I upgraded the driver and Premiere CS4 shows the MXF files correctly in the monitor window now.
I will check for other formats to see if there are any bugs left.
As of now its alright.
Thank you for the link and tip man!
