WHAT'S WRONG WITH AE?? CRASHES BEFORE IT EVEN OPENS

Hi Ronald2210022710ij,

Sorry for your issue.

As Mylenium suggested, it could be OS or a driver related issue. I'd start with updating Windows. If that doesn't help, create a new user account and try to launch After Effects in it.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Nishu

Without proper system information we can't tell you much. A crash so deep in Windows' core suggests that there is a security issue or a botched/ incompatible driver, though, so look into that.

Let me move this to the After Effects forum for you, which is the appropriate forum for your question.
