This might be one of the problems. I just got over a 3 hour dillema of AE shutting down whenever I scrub in the timeline, or for that matter, even click inside the timeline.
It is wierd, because my computer has been fine for the last… well forever, since I installed my Nvidia QuadroFX540 video card like, 3 years ago. Well, for some reason, it didn’t want to let me work in the timeline. After about 3 hours of system restore, preference file tweakage, re installing and all that good stuff… I installed a trial of AE CS4. (I work in CS3) SAME PROBLEM! But this time instead of just crashing it gave me error messages saying something about OpenGL.
I went back into AE CS3 and went into the preferences, unchecked USE OPENGL… and there ya go. That was my problem…

SO MAD right now… but at least I got it fixed and now I can get back to work.
Moral of the story: Try the easiest solution first, even if it doesn’t make sense at the time.
