Can you please share your system info? Like OS and version, CPU, RAM, GPU vRAM, Pr version? Thanks. Also a screen grab of your issue will be helpful.

Without any system info and other technical details this is not going anywhere. From the description and the errors it simply seems that this has nothing at all to do with AE and your system is missing a critical system library (DLL) or is generally not compatible. Impossible to say.

Is your operating system up to date? What platform are you working on? Mac or Windows? Can you please give us system specs.

 

Thank you
