I have read accounts of both success and failure with installing and running Premiere Pro 2 on Vista 64 bit systems.
I was able to successfully install and activate Premiere Pro 2, After Effects 7, Audtion, Photoshop CS2, and Illustrator CS2 with no problems. They all run fine except Premiere. Premiere will load, but does not accept any mouse or keyboard input. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere. I have tried running Premiere as administrator. I have shut off User Account Control. I have even tried running it in safe mode. Nothing has worked so far.
It seems that Premiere will work with some system configurations and not with others. Perhaps, it would be helpful if we were to all indicate our system specs when we share our successes and failures in trying to install and run Premiere on Vista 64 systems. That might give us a clue as to what works and what does not, and help avoid a lot of frustration in trying to get Premiere to work with Vista 64.
My system specs are:
Vista Home Premium 64 OS.
AMD Athlon 2X 64 bit dual core 4600+ processor.
2GB DDR2 PC6400 memory.
Two 320GB SATA hard drives and a 120GB IDE hard drive.
A CD burner.
A CD/DVD burner.
GeForce 7300 256MB graphics card.
2GB USB flash drive as a dedicated Ready Boost device.

Likely a driver issue, and very likely the display driver. Running fine over here on a Vista laptop, but you need to reinstall XP if you want to get any work done.
