For Premiere 5.1 users, there is a new update available called 5.1A, download it from the adobe site.
Included in the upgrade is the ability to use all Quicktime video filter and transitions from within Premiere.
There is a great filter to recreate the look of old film including scratched and hair etc.
It fixes some problem about RAID arrays losing info when saving projects.
Fixes some problem about error message 'this project aws created using another version of Premiere'.
Ther are many other listed bug fixes but no mention of anything about screen redraw problems.
download from adobe.com/prodindex/premiere/updat51a
From the Premiere users forum it seems that some people are having difficulty with instalation problems, though I installed it with no problems whatsoever.
Happy editing folks
Shaun,
Thanks for telling us about the update. BTW, I think you need ".html" on the end of your address to access the download. However, having downloaded it I have tried to install it several times without success. The Setup program keeps telling me that a file called "h-batchp.prm" is not in my plug-ins directory and that I must reinstall 5.1 before the update will install. Well, the file IS in my plug-ins directory and I have re-installed 5.1 twice, but I keep getting the same error. Any ideas?
I will telephone Adobe UK on Monday.

I am also having trouble with the 5.1a update,tells me I must have 5.1 installed, and halts. (I DO have 5.1 installed by the way!)
Any clue from Adobe would be helpful if posted here.
Thanks

Just tried re-installing 5.1 patch, and now the update program works.

Yes sorry peoples you are correct, the url I posted does need .html on the tail end.
adobe.com/prodindex/premiere/updat51a.html
that should do the trick, sorry for any comfusion.
Worth noting - this is NOT a huge download.
About 1.95MB, which is positively small by many updater standards.

The Update at Adobe seems to be for US English, is this the same as UK English and will the Download work in the UK.
------------------
Yes the 5.1a patch will work on US and UK versions of Premiere 5.1.
