As a newbie to forums I may be repeating something that has already been addressed and I just haven't found it. However here goes
When I use Video studio 12 as a user it frequently crashes, particularly when I play a video clip from the library direct. However it works OK when I play it as adminstrator. As I don't like working as adminstrator I would like to correct the problem. Does this mean a reinstall and if so will I keep all the work I have done to date (except for any settings I guess)?

I don't know why administrator has any effect, except maybe that as a regular user you may have some conflicting program running in the background.
I doubt that uninstalling & re-installing will help, but sometimes it's worth a try when you've run out of ideas... You won't loose any saved video files, and I don't think you'll loose any saved projects.
Most crashes have something to do with the your particular file or file format. The more-compressed formats tend to cause the most trouble. If you're working with DV/AVI files directly from a MiniDV camera (13GB per hour), you shouldn't have any problems. If you have a camera that makes MOV or MPEG-4 files, you might have trouble. If you download files from the Internet, you will run-across some files that cause trouble!

If you save your projects in a folder outside the Corel folder they will be safe. But to be even safer why not back them up to a disc. The VSP files are not very big anyway. You might start backing up all your video related files on a regular basis. Always a good policy and storage media is relatively cheap nowadays.
