    it does require a quick hand movement on windows unfortunately (which I suspect you are using). with today's SSD's the software is simply faster than you

    here's how to reset your preferences manually:

    go to

    • (Windows) \Users\[user_name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\[version]
    • (Mac OS) /Users/[user_name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/[version]

    find the pref file that looks like this and delete it: (it will have your version on it which is 10.5 I believe)
