Make sure that however you get your clips on the timeline that there 
are no gaps
Try Highlighting the cut and selectig a transition from  the menu
If that doesn't work position the timeline cursor at your cut and use 
the transition menu
Make sure that you're clips have heads and tails or compromise the 
in/out/middle thingy.
If you have no favorrites or anything you could trash your prefs as 
they say but it trashes favorites too. bummer.
