If I import a video file

The fact that you're "importing" suggests one of two things.  First, you're not a professional editor, but just a guy (or gal) who has a downloaded or ripped video they want to edit.  If this is the case, I recommend using consumer software.  You'll have better luck.

Second, you may well have some clue about video editing, but are tying to use media from an AVCHD or XDCAM EX camera.  In which case, the trial does not support anything MPEG for licensing reasons.  You'll have to test with DV, or purchase the program to get full support.

A supposedly professional application requires supposedly professional video material from a video camera.

I got a licensed and fully updated version of Premiere Pro CS4 (4.2.1). We recorded some audio in an older version of Premiere Pro 2.0 on another PC, because i'm running Windows 7 and my PreSonus Firebox isn't working on it. We recorded in wav format. When importing the audio, Premiere Pro CS4 gives an error [..\Time.cpp-209] and shuts down. Some help would be great!

Try deleting any Premiere cache files associated with the .wav file.  They have file extensions like .pek, .cfa, .xmp, .xmpses and have the same name as the .wav file.  Make sure to delete both 2.0 and CS4 cache files.  They may be in different locations.

Did you add any metadata to the .wav file when you exported it?  Did you change the timecode or sample rate?  Have you processed it in any other application besides Premiere between then and now?

Ditto for Bill's question.  What are format specifics of the file?

Also, are you importing the wave file into a new project, or are you trying to import an old project that's referencing that file?

(The time - 209 error msg you're referencing pertains to doing a time alignment operation with a framerate of zero, which is illegal.  I've never seen this happen with importing audio files, but I have seen things like this when loading older projects that have some kind of data corruption.)

Unfortunately, PrPro has never performed well in a networked environment. Especially in corporate and academic situations, networking is commonplace. I would strongly suggest filing a Feature Request for more networking support. As it appears that you have documented the issue for you, I would share all of those data with Adobe.

Good luck, and thanks for reporting your workaround.
