I'm opening up an old project from five years ago and each time I try to open it, Premiere crashes.
I'm using the latest 2024 version on a Mac Studio running OSX 14.5.
I link the media files, offline a few and then when I get to linking previews, which I deleted long ago, it crashes.
Any ideas or workarounds?

First I would try copying the sequence from the old projct and pasting it into a new project. Then close the old project and try connecting your media again.

Create a brand new project in 24.x.x and then File > Import to import the old project file. When you now are promted to link media, skip the preview files.

Downgrade to the previous version of Premiere Pro and try again. The latest versions have issues and sudden chrashes is one of them.

Try importing the old project into a new project using the Media Browser.

It sounds like there is some corruption associated with the project or the media linked to the project.
Here are a few recommendations:
When you say it crashes when you click the sequence, do you mean a single-click or double-click?
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

As Paul suggests, open the project and don't link any media. Does the project open and you can scrub on the offline sequence?
Try exporting and EDL, AAF or XML of the sequence and import into a new project.
