Media Encoder not Connecting to project

Hello guys i have a problem,

When i try to send a AE comp to AME via > File > Export > Add to AME Queue. AME does open but the comp won't show up in the Render Queue. When i drag and drop the Comp that i want to Render it does show up, but then it stays on "Connecting to project..." when i hit the start button or when i try to change the Render Preset
