Adriane Well, understand that the Intel chip doesn't automatically execute instructions in 32 vs. 64-bit mode - the instruction operands and other parameters are different (for instance, if the instruction is to shift left 1 bit, is it supposed to shift 32-bits left by 1 bit, or 64-bits left by 1 bit?). To handle this, Intel included an instruction to switch the chip between modes and the instructions run according to the current mode. It is the OS kernel and only the kernel that can switch modes. When the OS starts an application it switches to the required mode at the moment of giving the app control, and when an interrupt occurs the OS kernel captures it and switches back, since the OS kernel always runs in 64-bit mode. Note drivers run as an extension of the OS, therefore, all drivers without exception must also run in 64-bit mode. Plugins run as an extension of the application and that is why I am pretty sure that a 64-bit application can run only 64-bit plugins. (The instruction that switches the Intel chip is considered a "privileged" instruction and only the kernel can execute it). So yes, I'm pretty sure your Red Giant etc. plugins must be able to run in the same mode as the application that runs it, or else the Intel instructions become incoherent and the system crashes.

Lee, yes they are 3rd-party: Red Giant,Magic Bullet. I had not thought of a possible problem with the 32 vs 64-bit issue- didn't even enter my mind that plug-ins would be version-dependent. Do you know if that is indeed true?
I was attempting to export the CS4 project thru Encore when the hang/freeze-up kept happening. I tried that because if you recall, i couldn't get the project to load right in CS5 because of the missing plug-ins. So- to sum up: there are 3 relatively small finished CS4 projects that we cannot seem to get out of the computer. I'd like to try to save as a data disk-that's why i tried to export as AVI. Thought it'd be straightforward (opposed to encoding as Mpeg)but of course it isn't! I recently tried to export as mpeg & it came out 1 time with no audio, the 2nd try had sound but just stuttered when played in a dvd player.i then gave up on encoding & just wanted a straight avi file of the timeline w/effects- foiled again! Does anyone know how I can save these projects? not even necessarily for future re-editing). I had looked into a possible option a short time back- something like "collect & save all assets" -can't recall the correct name. It also froze, and when i mentioned it on this group no one seemed to have anything to say on that. hmmm... the plan now is to (once we can save those 3 projects) wipe all traces of CS4,delete all files related to the CS4 projects (format the drives maybe?), and start fresh with CS5. Somehow I think it won't be as easy & painless as that. ugghhhh....
