Adobe Primiere 6.0: Why does the tempo keep changing?

Hey all! Not sure if this has been asked before or if it's really audio, but I checked over the first two pages of questions and couldn't find much. Anyways, here is my question:

I've been using Adobe Premiere 6.0 to make my very first AMV. Everything worked out cool, followed some guides here, got everything working, used a .wav for the audio and all nice and dandy. In fact, I was very close to being done for the raw editing and ensuring the video follows the beat of the audio exactly. It took me a number of hours.

When I sat down to show my sister, the audio is suddenly out of sync. It was roughly a second faster than the video. Ever since then, no matter what I changed, whether timeframes or when the audio kicks in, etc. it remains out of sync. In fact, every time I tried to preview it, the music or video changes each time. Now I am not exactly sure whether it is the video or the music, but soon after, even when I'm in the middle of the file to fix a problem there, I'll have to watch it all over from the very beginning since the music would start from a different location than the video.

Any idea on how to fix this? I tried locking the track, I looked over FAQs but I couldn't find anything. I realize it's probably something incredibly stupid and I ruined my AMV cause of an oversight, but am pretty desperate, so any help would be -greatly- appreciated. Thanks!

Did you use mp3 audio?

Nope, I used .wav.

hopefully you haven't made so many changes that you can't remember what to put back.

Are you rendering your previews to disk, ram or screen?
What happens when you export, or use the print to screen function?

Don't forget to do the usual stuff, like make sure you don't have 35 programs running in the background, and defrag your disk... you know, the basics.
