Hi everyone, I seem to be having some problems with iMovie 08. It has been running fine since I bought iLife 08 the other day but this morning I came across a problem.

I opened iMovie 08 and it took a long time to load my video library (which is very small), I can drag over the files to view them but I am unable to click anything else, and the loading icon is still present, all of the tabs such as media, templates etc are ok but I am unable to drag a clip into the window for a new project. Other things such as 'quit' and 'preferences in the menue is greyed out along with other options.

After a few minutes of this i force quit - although the app was not shown as not responding.

So far I have re-booted several times, repaired permissions and even re-installed all of iLife 08, still to encounter the same problem.

Sorry if I have not described this very well, can anyone help?
Thanks,

Alistair.

*EDIT* Just found that when minimising iMovie to the dock it cannot be opened again and so has to be force quit.
