Premieres Freezes When Editing Text Color

I have three "Bold Comming Up" text essential graphics on my project. I recently set up a new computer (since I started this project). Before I was able to edit the text color, shadow, etc just fine. Now in the Appearance section of the menu if I click either the check box next to the Fill, Stroke, Background or Shadow options or click on the box with the color the program locks up. There is no error displayed, it just plays a sound whenever I try to click on anything and I'm unable to do anything either by clicking or with keyboard short cuts. The odd thing is I am able to change the color if I use the eyedropper tool. I've tried restarting the application and the computer. I also tried deleting the graphics and adding new ones, but it behaves the same way each time.
