I tried to batch open and save as bitmap files all the pics but due to my error saved them as jpegs again. I know that the pics came from several sources one of which must have not been 100 % jpeg compliant because when I loaded them into premiere this time I had no problems (or something like that anyway)

So.............Imported files, opened new storyboard but again when I tried to automate to timeline premiere blows up with an error .

Just to make sure that i still didn't have any duff data I used Nero Vision Express 3 to create a slideshow and it all worked OK. Didn't look very professional, but at least it worked.

The error that is being given is saying quicktime.qts is blowing up. What's that all about? Is quicktime used to show the monitor on screen or something?

Time for a software reload me thinks.....
