Adobe Premier 6.0 crashes when attempting to export

1gb RAM
2.8 processor

I have fully made my movie and it is previewed and all set up to go, the files have all been shrank with a divx compressor (the program was virtualdub). When I go to menu and hit export timeline to movie, the program crashes on me. I have used this very system for many movies, but all of a sudden it is crashing. What is wrong? I am up to date with the 6.02 beta patch.

DivX on the Premiere timeline is a recipe for creating serious problems. Old versions like Premiere 6 even more so.

well I just tried to export a blank timeline with nothing in it and the same problem occured, it crashed before any settings or options windows appeared.

No promises, but it might be worth trying a factory set of preferences.

Try starting Premiere with CTRL+SHIFT until the splash screen appears. Choose your preferred edit mode when asked and then reset scratch disks etc before trying again.
