hi community,

like the title say after effect won't launch, just won't ....

I double click on the AE shortcut, the cursor seem busy for a while then ...nothing ... nothing launch... no error message... not even the logo ... I launch photoshop, illustrator, premiere pro, lightroom etc ... other software work fine, only after effect troll me ...

also there are no afterFX.exe process in the task manager when I try to start AE

I tried restart windows 7, desinstall/reinstall after, launching directly from the program files in adiministrator, praying god, exorcism... nothing work... I search for a moment on google, creative cow and other forum to find a solution but no answer ...

my windows and after effect is up to date, drivers freshly install, no plugin or script are install

anybody here have a solution ?

2018 did not start for me either, solution...

It seems to be a driver issue with nVidia Quadro M1000M. (Dell Precision 5510)

Running the nVidia Control Panel, (right click desktop)  Manage 3D Settings, Program Settings, (After Effects) I needed to

switch it back to my "Integrated Processor".   The problem with this however is it takes a

performance hit and my Previews (audio/video) never play back in real time... which makes it impossible

to edit my Timeline.   I installed the latest Quadro drivers but still no fix.  I will continue using

2017 until this issue is resolved.
