Rendering Issues - FCP 7 - "Codec Not Found"

I have a client project in Pro Ress 422 (1080 HD) that was rendering fine up until today. When attempting to render anything, the following prompt is displayed:


"Unable to find codec. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."


This is a 2006 Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core with 10 BG RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256 MB Video Card. No prior issues up until now.


Many Thanks.

Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Try this. Make the timeline active, or select the sequence in the browser. Hit command-zero. Change the compressor to "animation" Close the window. Open it again and change it back to prores 422. any luck.
