pointer refreshes constantly, unusable

[deepthroatdeserteagle]

I just installed Premiere 15.4 and started a new project. From the moment i get to the actual project window, my pointer cycles between the normal pointer and a pointer with an hourglass next to it.

I can't press buttons, occasionally i succeed because it only works when i press my mouse button up and down when the same cursor image is on, i can drag stuff but it's all very painful to use, can't type and i'm pretty sure no keyboard shortcuts are working either.

my info:

Windows 10 version 21H1

Premiere 15.4

i also have the latest version of creative cloud

I closed all programs that may interfere with premiere and restarted, but no succes at all.

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

If that doesn't work,try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
from here:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean install of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

@Peru Bob 

Thank you for your reply,

I basically did everything you suggested, except resetting to saved workspace (program wouldn't allow me to reach the menu, but i guess resetting preferences does that too) and download the latest studio driver, which i can't because there's no studio drivers for my GPU (GTX960M)

I suspect it is a problem with the workspaces, because whenever i'm switching between them the problem stops and i can click everywhere without problem again.

Is there anything else i can try?

What are the complete computer specs, including hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

That is not enough free space for temp and system files.
