Hello Adobe Forums!!! First timer here posting, have been using Adobe products for years. First real issue I couldn't solve with a few quick Google searches. So here is my issue:

I start up Adobe After Effects and get this almost instantly-

When I click ok I get this:

When I click ok here, I get this:

My computer specs are as follows:

I7 - 2670QM 2.2ghz - Asus ROG G74s

12GB Ram

nVidia GEFORCE GTX 560M 3GB

I never had an issue until yesterday. Granted, I haven't started the program up in a few weeks, so it could have started earlier. Anyway, I got into an online chat with Adobe with a rep named Devendra, and they had me roll back graphic drivers, still failed. They had me delete the 11.0 file in AE, still failed. I killed the firewall, still failed.  I uninstalled and reinstalled, still failed. Not sure what else to do.

The only thing I have installed lately is a WACOM tablet, but I have had it installed before with no issue.

I don't know if AE has a crash log, if you can tell me where it is, I will post it here also. Thanks!

    it is just simple if you are using Microsoft Windows 7  Copyright 2009. Install Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1). Uninstall your After Effects and install again..boom!! done!!

    What version of CS6 are you running? If it's anything earlier than 11.0.2, update it and see what happens.
