try looking into extension conflicts you don't have much time but do you have external drives where is your media saved? you can save your project outside of the software per say so reinstalling isn't a problem i don't think just make an extra copy of your project is there anything you set up that is different than when you opened it last? something you installed or added to the computer or deleted? undo what you did is your firewire cable plugged into your cam? try turning off your external drives and opening it up good luck cari machet --- Spud0812 at aol.com wrote: > Hi All, > I have a project due tomorrow at 10 AM and today > everytime I try to open > FCP3 my Mac freezes...what is the problem?
