Starting Yesterday AE Does Not Open

[EHamm]

Starting yesterday, every time I try to open AE I get an error and it doesn't open. I have updated. I have restarted my computer. I have uninstalled and restarted my computer. I don't know what I need to do.

I would recommend you do two things.

1. Update your graphic card driver.

2. Reset your preferences.

Windows: Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift when the application launches.

Mac: Command+Option+Shift when the application launches.

Found out it's the AfterFX.exe that's causing the issue. Anyway to fix?
