For some reason when i create a title, or go to edit a previously created one, the screen flickers a little as its opening, and then it opens without all of the properties displayed. They only thing i can change is the font size, while all of the other properties are just blank. Should i try re-installing premiere or what?

What is the full spec of your PC?

It might prove very important. e.g. Premier Pro (if that's the version you have) is only supported on XP and Later versions of Premiere want a minimum 512MB of RAM. Could either of these be your problem?
