Why won't After Effects load?

I opened the program yesterday morning to finish some motion graphics for a local public access TV show. It worked fine.

But, my video card was getting hot, and exhausted, which is normal. So, I turned off my computer to let it cool off. This always helps, because the RAM gets exhausted also.

I went outside and shot some video the rest of the afternoon and evening until dusk, then came home and ate dinner. The weather temperature also dropped a lot.

But, when I freshly turned on the desktop, After Effects refused to load.

I have an NVIDIA Quatdro FX 4800 and it's huge.

I tried checking the settings, over and over. No matter what I did, it wouldn't load. SO, I uninstalled After Effects and reinstalled it. But that didn't work either.

Premiere loads, Photoshop loads, Media Encoder Loads.

I just need to add an edge feather to a CC fast blur effect because I realized I left a huge mistake in the video I'd rendered out yesterday. I don;t like editing w audio in After Effects because it's not really an editing program, and doesn't work right. But Id didn;t even see the mistake until I edited it in Premiere with the audio.

I also CANNOT get the chat feature to load in customer support.

Why won't the program load?
