Well it sounds as if you should be all set. The version you note is SP-1 for Project.

Have you created a master project file? Do you have the pool attached to the master project?

it sounds as though your resource pool file may have some corruption. Does it crash on all projects or can you isolate it to only a few?

If it is only a few, try disconnecting from the pool, save and close the pool and sharer file. Then reconnect.
