Hi all
My AE CS5 has started crashing on start after changing my preferences.
I've been working without any problem with CS5 for years on the same computer. Recently, i formatted and re-installed it and installed CS5 again. I played around with it for a few days and today i changed my preferences. After changing Cache Folder it gave me an error (don't remember exactly, but i think it may have been related with the choosed folder, in Windows\Temp) and crashed. After that I've been having the same error on start:
After Effects error: Last registered message: <5920> (this number has changed)<AppDirs> <5> Required Dir = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5\Support Files\Required
AE can't continue. etc etc... (0 :: 42)
I've followed the recommended solving paths: uninstall CS5, clean using Adobe Removal Tool and re-install, also deleting Prefs folder in AppData\Roaming\ folder and un-installing Quicktime. None of them worked. So, here I am.
I work on a
HP DV6 Laptop
Intel i7 Q720 @ 1.60 GHz
4GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5650
Thanks to anyone giving any hint.
