composition preview not playing

Hi,

I have this issue with my Adobe After Effects CC 2017 that when I click play to watch the preview, it pauses instantly so I can't watch it at all. Because of this, I can't render my project fully as the composition has to pre-render first (the green bar)? I have a 4 GB Toshiba Laptop, not the best but it makes do. I've atatched a screenshot for my screen if you need anymore tell me.

Thank you!

Just having After Effects 2017 installed with 4GB of RAM (I assume it's RAM to what you mean) is already a true miracle. What you have is what you get, try to export without making previews, it is not necessary to make the previews (green bar) to be able to export your composition.

If it is not RAM to which you refer, be more explicit please. Details of your processor, GPU, RAM, hard disk or solid disk, etc., etc.

Yeah, with just 4 gigs of memory you're lucky to have both the operating system and After Effects running at the same time, to say nothing of doing RAM Previews!  Get yourself more memory!  16 gigs total will do the trick.
