Thanks for replying. I had searched for previous posts but I didn't find anything related but you got me thinking "google".
I did find a note for the LE 8.0cs3 Update from June 9th, 2009.

- If a session was saved with the Tempo Editor visible but the Tempo ruler hidden, opening that session and then showing the Tempo ruler may cause a crash.
This describes perfectly one of the symptoms, adding as well that if it doesn't out right crash it keeps showing that Access Violation error anytime you do anything with tempo after that first time and then you're forced to exit and start over.
I guess that issue isn't quite fixed after all?
I also wonder if there is a specific version of Quicktime for each release of Pro-tools?
